Adding Sunlight Through Trees

Adding Sunlight Through Trees
Written by Steve Patterson. In this Photoshop Effects tutorial, we’re going to learn how to add beams of sunlight through trees, which is not only a great way to make an image look more interesting, it’s also a lot easier to do than you might think, as we’ll see. We’ll even finish things off by making the sunbeams appear to be shining on the ground after they pass through the trees, which adds more realism to the final effect. Here’s the image I’ll be starting with in this Photoshop tutorial: The original image. And here’s what it will look like after we add our sunbeams: The final result. Let’s get started. Step 1: Find The Color Channel With The Highest Contrast With our image open in Photoshop, the first thing we need to do is find out which of our three color channels (Red, Green and Blue) contains the highest amount of contrast. The Channels palette in Photoshop. Click on the Red channel first and you’ll see your image turn black and white. Step 2: Make A Copy Of The Channel

Non-Destructive Lens Flare Effect In Photoshop Written by Steve Patterson. In this Photoshop Effects tutorial, we'll learn how layer blend modes make it easy to add a popular lens flare effect to a photo without making any permanent changes to our image. We'll start by adding the lens flare normally to position it exactly where we want it, then we'll undo the effect, add a new layer, re-apply the lens flare instantly using a handy keyboard shortcut, and finally, we'll blend the lens flare into the image using one of Photoshop's most common and widely used blend modes. Here's the image I'll be working with: The original image. Here's how it will look after we've added the lens flare effect. The final lens flare effect. Let's get started! Step 1: Apply The Lens Blur Filter With our image open in Photoshop, the first thing we need to do is add a lens flare the way we normally would if we were applying it directly to the image. Go to Filter > Render > Lens Flare. This opens the Lens Flare dialog box. The initial lens flare effect. Space.

Lighting effects for vintage photo looks - Tutorials Mobile apps that lend a vintage styling to photos and videos have been in vogue, emulating the recent craze for simple film cameras from the likes of Lomography (lomography.com). Among these apps are the all-conquering Hipstamatic and Plastic Bullet Camera – the latter based on colour-correction technology developed for Red Giant’s Hollywood-quality video and Photoshop plug-ins. Both have won favour with designers and hipsters from Shoreditch to Sunderland. In this tutorial, Fabio Sasso will show you how you can create retro lighting effects in Photoshop without resorting to plug-ins – and with a degree of control that means you get the look you want without the trial-and-error aspect of the iPhone apps. Step 1 To start off we will need an image that evokes the era we’re attempting to emulate: a photo that’s been stuck to the wall of a VW Camper ever since it trundled out of the first Glastonbury Festival packed with hippies hallucinating the arrival of UFOs.
