We can add a mask to the copy picture layer to make the effect look more real. We can hide the point-light effect in some parts of the picture. Here are the steps we need to take:

• Click on the layer mask icon at the bottom of the Layers panel.
• When you select the Brush tool, you can hide the point light effect by painting over it with black paint.
• Adjust the opacity and softness of the brush to achieve the desired effect.
