ermmm.... @seaco:
The shadow should not be a drop shadow but a blurred and distorted reflection of the couple, set at the right angle. We don't know what resolution the original is in to say it's not feasible.

Ahh! see what you mean about the shadow your right as for the resolution I mean you can't add wisps etc. to the resolution of the pics supplied!

I'll give it a go. Cheers for the help guys!
I'm hopeless with shadows. But my original image is 24x24inches at 200dpi. I'm making a canvas of my daughters, so I want it to look good.

The shadow areas marked x and y have to go. It looks like the background is right in front of them and destroys the illusion. Also the outline of both girls needs a soft edge brush to make them blend into the background plate.

Working from that small pic that you posted and without the luxury of layers to work with I used the lasso tool and copied the two girls and pasted the copy onto a new layer,applied a black overlay and used the transform>perspective tool to position the shadow, finally adjusted the transparency and the whole process took about two minutes.

niftyned... I can't get my shadow to match that angle using the perspective tool. Mines going sideways and looks weird.

Well, I cant imagine why that would be. Are you only dragging the bounding box from one point? Try the skew or warp tools as well if you cant get it but I know the perspective tool works because that is how I did it.

Yeah, still funky. I've tried dragging each corner and side, but6 I'm still messing it up.

Try pressing Ctrl when you pull the corner!
