This tutorial introduces a method of producing a projection beam. The general process: first find the right material picture, adjust the color with a gradient or brush the highlight part of the rendering out, and then hand-made some light beam and spot can be.
Original
| 1. Open forest images and perform HDR tones in photoshop (image | adjustment | HDR hue). |
| 2, the following is the application of the following settings image. |
| 3, now we start to make some light and shade changes, you can set the foreground color is pale yellow, background color is white, fill gradient, blending mode for soft light, duplicate several layers, transform position and distribution, such as figure. |
| 4, in order to improve the lighting more, we need the ground bit of light. To do this using a large and round white light, the foreground color is white, using a single click Brush to the ground. |
| 5. Now transform (CTRL + T), the soft white circle is flattened vertically. |
| 6, now set the layer of the blending mode to overlay, repeat steps several times, until the forest floor, sufficient light. |
| 7, now let's add some light through the leaves of the tree, and the sun breaks. To do this, select the soft white brush while holding down the SHIFT key on the keyboard to draw the entire document straight to the new layer. |
8, now transform and rotate, so it seems to be diagonal from the top left corner of the line.
Now set the layer blending mode to overlay and reduce the opacity to 50%. Then repeat a few more steps. You may want to reduce the weight of some rows, and you can also use a partial soft eraser so that it looks like some rays behind the trunk. |
| 9, now I want to add a few lenses to the flare and light through the top of the tree. I would like these subtle and further enhanced illumination. Can add some round of spot effect. |
| 10, the final step, I would like to add 3 adjustment layer to help the blending effect. First, let's add a black-and-white adjustment layer to reduce the saturation of some forests on the ground. Use a large soft brush color layer to mask the center part, revealing the adjustment layer below the color. |
| 11, now let's add a gradient fill to adjust the layer to darken the edges. Use the following settings. |
| 12, now let's add a gradient fill to adjust the layer to darken the edges. Use the following settings. |
| 13, now apply a gradient overlay layer style adjustment layer below settings. |
| Added a blue fill color (#2a3d83) to the previous adjustment layer, set the blending mode to overlay, and opacity to 50%. I added these cold tune to the image to finish the final effect. |
