How to make the shadow fall only on the tree?

Question

Adobe Photoshop

Good day. Such is the problem. It is necessary to make sure that the shadow from the ivy falls only on the log! Now the shadow also falls on the white background. Tell me how to make the shadow immediately fall only on the log or how to erase the shadow on a white background?

Answer 1

Overlay mask that will be applied to the layer effect

Answer 2

You cannot make a mask just for the layer effect, it will be applied to the entire layer at once. We need to make a copy of the leaf layer, apply the effect to the bottom one and mask it as it should for the design.

Answer 3

The solution was found , and it turned out not so difficult :)

Answer 4

Good afternoon.
Because it is not POST, however, this is not obvious in the documentation. There is a small FAQ on the github, but you still need to look for it https://goo.gl/EWyjNn
