In this tutorial, we will use a product photo of a toy as the main subject. Here is the Lens Flare applied in Photoshop 4. Choose a default lens flare, or change the settings to suit your tastes. Press Alt+Backspace (Option+delete) to fill with black. Fill with black: Press the D key to reset color. Like everything else, this is my interpretation and how I would go about achieving a result. Lens flares are difficult to position, but not with this trick. Remember to leave your suggestions for future episodes down below in the comments! Just click on the layer icon at the bottom of the layers palette, and rename layer 1 to Lightning by clicking on the word Layer 1: The next step is to apply the brush. It could be a movie poster, album cover, a color style, or anything really. Make sure that the color picker box is set to white in the foreground, so that the lighting will be white: The next thing you’ll need to do is to make a new layer. This seemed like a better idea because it gives me the opportunity to share many more techniques that I haven’t really shown before.īy the way, in case you don’t know copycat Wednesdays is my new series where I recreate something using photoshop. Theres no need for perfect point-like stars in individual frames here. Then in Photoshop, put the second photo as background layer and put the first photo in a layer on top of that. Next, shoot with proper settings so that the yard is bright enough. Select all the layers except the one you just created, right click on them and select. I got a comment by Kumane who suggested the Flash logo, and although I liked the idea I have already done a Captain America logo which teaches basically the same techniques, except for the lightning.Īnd that got me thinking, to instead recreate the lightning from the running scenes. For setting the exposure time you can use the 500 or even the 600 rule. Shoot it in such a way that the fireflies are bright while the yard is quite dark. Select one of your layers and make a copy by pressing CTRL+J (or CMD+J if you are cool and use a Mac).
