Help me with this problem

[u/Ultimate_Oikawa]

what's the name of the slash effect thing that's separates every picture, i couldn't find it on yt

[u/Firegardener]

Tilted gradient cut? Just made it up, why does the name matter? Is the name the problem or how to do it?

[u/karaco_ → u/Firegardener]

OP might be trying to find tutorials or more info to learn how to create the same effect but doesn't know what to search. Happens to me all the time lol

[u/Oryon- → u/Firegardener]

What a stupid comment. How would someone who doesn’t know the name of the effect look up how to do said effect?

[u/Firegardener → u/Oryon-]

Maybe I didn't read the last bit and commented purely on the aspect of finding the name. I'm so sorry. 🤦🏻‍♂️

It’s likely nameless, but use the polygonal lasso tool to select an area on your image, cut it out, and paste it onto a separate layer. Double-click the layer in the layers panel and check the “drop shadow” box. A radial dial allows you to adjust the shadow’s direction. Repeat this process for the next subject and paste it again. Position them as desired, and you’ll have three layers in total.

I feel like creating three separate shapes, adjusting the horizontal skew, and adding clipping mask to each image/shape with drop shadow would be slightly simpler.

Hi, it looks like an outer glow, but set to a dark color and in the multiply blending mode. 

If the rightmost image is the top layer, and is bigger than the document bound, adding an outer glow layer style would be easy to setup and would only affect its leftmost limit. Ditto for the middle and leftmost layer.

It's a black gradient or drop shadow added to each image. I wouldn't copy this though, it makes the images look 2D and creates ugly colours under the gradient.

This would be easiest in InDesign. Just place three images with frames like that and add a drop shadow.

[u/Gregs_Mom → u/Strat7855]

What? This would be just as easy if not easier in Photoshop.

[u/PickleComet9 → u/Gregs_Mom]

Yeah, especially since there's a dedicated tool just for this in Ps - frame tool. Draw rectangle with it, drag and drop the image in, tree transform to skew, add effects and triplicate.

[u/Strat7855 → u/PickleComet9]

InDesign is a layout tool, Photoshop is an image editor. Can you do this in PS? Pretty easily. Could do it in Illustrator too. I could even do this in After Effects. I think Premiere has drop shadow as an available effect, and rudimentary masking, so you could do it there, too.

None of this changes the fact that working with separate images this is best done InDesign.

[u/PickleComet9 → u/Strat7855]

Think context.

1. This is Photoshop sub.
2. The question was on how to do it in Photoshop.
3. No offense to op, but people who ask help with simple operations like this, probably don't have Id subscription.
4. This is a 100% raster image. Photoshop is a raster image editor.
5. InDesign is a layout editor. Usually used for outputs other than plain raster images.
6. There's dedicated tools in Ps for what op is asking.
7. It's likely they will do more raster image editing on it later. Why use two when one program work?

You likely lost them at "Think"
