You mean the light on top parts of pillows? [emoji14] I don't know how you build your file but I would first try creating new layer and clipping it with sofa layer, and softly brush on new layer with color picked on front sofa part. That's would be my way

Hi gautam

This is not a white shadow. That comes from your inaccurate masking.
You have to learn to work with the Pen tool, which is a must for professional jobs.

Then you forgot to mask of a part of the original image. There is no excuse for an error like this.

Even if your boss wants to see fast results, you could only present "this composite" to him as a draft.
But afterwards you have to redo it completely.


I lightened the image for you to see the Pen tool line.

There's also the reflection of the original sofa on the floor, still.

This looks much better gautam.

But still a few things need some attention.
1. Background is blotchy.
2. Reflection has to be the same size as the furniture.
3. I did change the perspective a little with the warp tool.
