How do I make a rainbow?

[TheChildCody]

I've seen multiple photos of rainbows in text and stuff. 

 

An example, I want something like it was done in the back of this text. And simply how to make a rainbow. I've searched for plugins, none fit my needs.

Hi

 

Romein's Multi-color-gradient plug-in might work for you.

Or Rainbow plugin.

Just did a tutorial for this then checked your example and realised that you didn't actually want a rainbow

 

Still made it so will post it.

 

First you need these 3 plug ins

 

Conditional hue/saturation

Object align

And Gravity

Second open up PDN and just use the default options for new project

 

Use the paint bucket tool and fill it with a colour I chose blue but anything will work ( except black or white )

 

 

Then go to adjustments/conditional hue/saturation and change the highlighted parts

 

 

Then use the blue arrow tool and click on the image to reveal the movement points and drag the top middle one down

 

 

Now use object align to center it

 

 

Now add a new layer and choose draw eclipse and change it to filled, hold down the shift key while drawing to keep it round and then use the blue arrow to move it down

 

 

Merge both layers together anr run gravity plug in at default selections

 

 

Use magic wand set to 71 to remove black ( click on it then press ctrl+x )

 

 

Open up your image and add your rainbow ( delete any parts you dont want with eraser and set layer mode to overlay plus use gaussian blur to help blend it )

 

 

voila.

 

There may be a few mistakes as I was very tired when putting this together

ThisTute Will get you close to the background your after, the multi colour gradient plugin on a new layer (set to overlay or multiply) may help with the colours

Rainbow? What a funny term.
