# Filter Archive's new Shadow filter can bend a shadow up a wall

Seso added a [Shadow filter](<https://sesohq.com/pages/cast-shadow-effect>) to [Filter Archive](<https://sesohq.com/pages/filter-archive>), its Photoshop plugin, and it can run a subject's shadow up a wall. Turn on Wall, drag its line to where the wall meets the floor, and the shadow bends and climbs from there.

Shadow lays a cut-out's own shadow on the floor, sharp where the subject touches down and softer and lighter as it falls away. You drag the shadow's tip on the preview to aim it. Lift pulls the shadow away from the feet for a jump, and there are Reflection and 3D Shadow styles for a glossy floor or for cars and boxes. With Rim Light in the same stack, the shadow falls away from Rim Light's lamp.

Apply puts the shadow on its own Multiply layer under the cut-out, so you can still fade, mask or blur it. Open it from Plugins, then Filter Archive, then Shadow.

The maker says the effects are procedural, built from math rather than generative AI, so there are no tokens to spend.

Shadow runs in the Photoshop plugin only for now, on Photoshop 2024 or newer. Filter Archive costs [$59.99 once](<https://sesohq.com/pages/filter-archive>), which covers all 44 filters and new ones as they ship. The plugin works offline but checks in online every 7 days.
