Movie Like Sunset in Photoshop Tutorial Preparation: You will need an image similar to this. Preferably, one which you can clearly see the skyline. Use soft brush (opacity 10%, black colour), and paint 1 to 2 times below the sky area. Then using the same brush opacity, change the colour to #ad651a and go over the sky area (you may use a lighter colour, but try not to make it go any darker). Now click on the icon beside the quick mask. Result after adjustment of curves: Add a new layer below the Curves layer, Set foreground colour to Black. Bring down the opacity of the Black filled layer to about 60% (so that you know where to place the lens flare in the image). Go to Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Bring the opacity level of the Black layer up to 100%. Choose Soft Round Brush with the color #ffe01a, opacity 10%. Go to Blending Mode > Linear Dodge (Add). Duplicate the layer and change blending mode to Screen. If you think the image is still too dark, you may duplicate it again and adjust its opacity level. We are almost there.
