Photoshop can be an amazing and powerful tool while creating digital-renderings. One way of creating such renderings is by creating a photo-montage  a sort of collage of different images placed together to create a sense of space and the atmosphere of a particular space. Photo-montages are created by layering  various images which have been trimmed down to only include a specific figure or by adding .png files. For example, someone could separate a scale-figure or a tree by using one of several different tools (marquee tool, one of the different lasso tools, the magic wand, or the quick-select tool) and cut the figure from the photo and place it into a new photo-montage  Once that figure is in the photo-montage  a shadow can be created by duplicating that layer, transforming it into the desired shadow shape and then dropping the opacity and adjusting the exposure. These techniques as well as other can be used to transform many different photos that can then be combined to create a photo-montage of a particular space.
