2 ways to make the transmitted light in the forest in PS

In The thick woods, a plume of sunlight pouring down through the layers of leaves, like a light arrow, gives a very dreamy feeling ... You must be envious of this special effect, right? Now, let's get Photoshop out of your picture and have this fantasy and real dream.

This paper uses Photoshop CS5 software to make pictures that have light scattering effects, study the blur filter options and the effects of multiple blur on the picture, and compare the effects of the two "blur" filters.

Photoshop CS5 's "radial blur" filter feature is more targeted than other blur filters in the gradient direction. The high light region of the picture can be used to produce a linear divergent fuzzy gradient effect.

Method one, white line + Gaussian blur

1. Run Photoshop CS5 and open a picture of the forest. Click on the menu bar "layer → new → layer" (or press shift+ctrl+n shortcut), click "OK" in the pop-up window, and create a new layer.

2. According to the position of the leaves in the picture, draw a straight line to represent the light. Click the Line tool on the left side of the toolbar and set the value according to the width of the light in the weight option of its properties. For example 30px (note: The width of the light here to set a larger point, is to facilitate everyone to view the picture effect, you can actually set a smaller number), and ensure that the foreground color is white, and then draw a line in the picture (as shown below).

3. Click on the "Path" window, right-click just generated line mask, select the "Make Selection" option, feather radius set to 3 pixels. Then switch to the Layers window, right-click the layer you just generated, and select the Grid layer option (pictured below).

4. Click on the menu bar "filter → Blur → Gaussian blur" in the filtered window, set the radius to 9 pixels, and click OK.

5. Click the layer and set 40% in the Opacity option above the layers window to produce a direct light effect. Note that this is just the process of generating a beam of light, if you need more light, you should first draw a number of lines, and repeat the above steps.

White line + Gaussian blur effect is very rigid classification:
