Beams of sun light from scratch - Photoshop Week 39

[NatureNTech]

I managed it... once :)

[CameraTenshi]

It's really awesome! Nice video! Thank you for sharing with us

[baghdadx]

cheers mate it was very useful for me.

[Riezz73]

very very nice tutorial, but... the reflections on the water will be in real much, much bigger..

think about the distance of the lightsource, aka sun :P... shining through the clouds..

.....in the clouds, it should be pinholes to make the reflections like those on the tutorial...

think its better to "stop" the beams just "behind" the boardwalk :)

Bah ha ha ha: a soft rounded rubber.

[Aguuyung]

thanks gavin. . really helpful.

[looneyranger]

Gavin,

I would like to use this technique to simulate light filtered through a cathedral's stain glass window. Any suggestions how to get the light rays to realistically pickup the colors of the individual glass elements from the window?

[jeffrockr]

@looneyranger duplicate cathedral window, put it over the light rays layer, set its blending option to 'color' ?

[looneyranger]

Absolutely ingenious Gavin,

I love all of your video tutorials. Particularly this one because I was in need of precisely this kind of effect. Thank you so very much!

[Jaminnman]

Big fan Gavin. I noticed your sky here was entirely B&W. Obviously this was necessary because the cloud filter is black and white. Is there any way to create this effect without black and white sky (blue and white for example).

[number1drummerman]

Render the clouds, then, with the cloud layer selected, go to the Hue and Saturation window. Tick the "colorize' box and then simply select whichever colour you want :)

But you've probably forgotten all about this since you posted that comment 4 months ago :P

[xKillerkeuhx]

Common This is to Good

[Serasia]

That's lovely! I love those sunbursts, they're amazing. I would not have guessed this was Photoshopped, but you did a great job. I'm typing a lot but I'd be speechless in real life.

When I was a kid I called the rays "rays of heaven". That's my favorite type of sky ^^

And I always found Photoshop confusing beyond all comprehension, but your tutorial made it look like a breeze. Thank you! I do have Elements though (which I don't get any more than normal Photoshop to be honest haha).

[AngelNEVERFADEAWAY]

Thank you! That's soo cool
