So, I added an overall gradient and loaded in the simple black to white. I could drag this gradient into position and we'll change its blend mode to multiply. Notice now how simple it is to tweak where that shadow falls and I use that just to darken the bottom of the table slightly. We can lower the opacity just a bit and it's creating a nice darkness on the foreground. Now, we're going to add some vibrance and saturation layers to try things out. You'll notice here that different blend modes are used. In this case, we're using the HSL effect, but you can also use…
