The shadow element can be used to effectively remove the shadows from a certain object for an example and it will be colored depending on the light source/s setup.
Lighting pass + Shadow pass > Lighting without shadows.

so for the classical shadow layer as one would expect from its name i shoudl use GI element?

What's a classic shadow layer? There is the VRayMatteShadow element, but I don't know if that's what you are looking for.

right, i think i am not making myself clear at all but thant might be it.
If i want to isolate shadows completely i render VrayMatteShadow element.

Sorry guys i saw somewhere on the net a composition from vray elements, one of which was called shadow element and it was greyscale......and i havent used elements for recomposition for a while now so i came to believe that the Shadows element istn meant to be colored
Anyway, thanks for clearing out!
