Drydareelin Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 This tutorial is available as a PDF. Click here to view or download it My first tutorial We are changing this: To this: 1# Duplicate Layer On the top layer make it Sepia Adjustments > Sepia 2# Select the magic wand tool, select the appropriate tolerance and delete the ground on the Sepia layer 3# Add a new layer Set the blend most to overlay Select the paintbrush and colour in the sky, you don't have to be too careful with this The colour I used was Hex: #87FDFF 4# Add a small Gaussian Blur Effects > Blurs > Gaussian Blur I used a blur of 35 5# Flatten Layers Image > Flatten 6# Duplicate layer Add a Zoom Blur Effects > Blurs > Zoom Blur And set the Zoom Amount to 100 If you want a more realistic effect, put the offset on to the point of the light source (in this case, the sun) 7# Set the Blend Mode to Lighten and the Layer opacity to about 153 (experiment) 8# Flatten again Image > Flatten I hope this tutorial was helpful.

MadJik Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 shouldn't the sun be the origin for the zoom blur? Quote My DeviantArt | My Pictorium | My Plugins | Donate via Paypal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drydareelin Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) shouldn't the sun be the origin for the zoom blur? I tried that and found for much difference but you could =) I'll add it into the tutorial ^_^ Edited March 19, 2011 by Drydareelin Quote Gallery DeviantArt Planet Tutorial | Sun Tutorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 @BoltBait's Landscape plugin does quite a nice job for those who want a quick fix.

Drydareelin Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) @BoltBait's Landscape plugin does quite a nice job for those who want a quick fix. You could combine the two I guess That is a very good plug-in but I found it slightly unreliable to black and white photos Edited March 20, 2011 by Drydareelin Quote Gallery DeviantArt Planet Tutorial | Sun Tutorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
