Photo-sky spice it up by light rays
If you have shot, for example, a Photo with a relatively monotonous sky, replace it using the magic eraser tool, first the sky through a cloudy Scene, which shows a touch of sun. Then you summarize the manipulated image to a background level.
- Duplicate the background layer and add another. They call the new layer "light beam". You draw with the Polygon Lasso tool to a beam of light extends from the sun to the object. Fill it with white color.
- You want to brighten other objects, repeat this step. Duplicate the layer with the light beams and hide the bottom of it. Reduce the opacity to "20 %", and select "Filter | blur filters | Gaussian blur ". Set the value to "30".
- Now switch to the lower beam level, set its opacity to "20 % down" and apply the Gaussian blur filter with a value of "15" on it.
- To make the Scene even more realistic, select the upper light beam is level and click on the "add layer mask ". Use [D] the standard color and select the gradient tool.
- You paint from the top to the bottom of the image. So your objects are actually radiates, draw with the Dodge tool on the objects along the virtual ray of light is incident.
- Last, they reinforce the sun a little bit, by selecting "Filter | rendering filter | lens flare" and such on the sun set.
