Animated Demo: PS easy to draw beautiful rainbow

Animation Demo

A lot of people are interested in making rainbows, so let's take a look at how Photoshop makes a gorgeous rainbow effect, mainly using a radial gradient. Here the author uses the animation way to do the demonstration, very intuitive and convenient.

1. First create a new file in Phtoshop, and then press ALT and double-click the background layer to make the background layer a normal layer (I believe we all know a shortcut key).

Click the gradient, and open the Gradient editor, select the color spectrum gradient, and make the gradient bar like the selection.

2. After the first step, select the radial gradient on the tool options bar, as shown in the figure.

3. Then, hold down the SHIFT key and pull the selection on the canvas.

4. Pull it out! Sometimes may pull out the effect is not good, may try several times .... And sometimes the pull out of the effect is not wanted, then the tool options bar on the reverse of the check out.

Select the Magic Wand tool and click on the red area of the canvas. Do not select continuous.

5. Feather, and delete.

6. Select the moment to open the selection tool, and as shown in Figure 2 pull and feather Delete

In this way, a rainbow is basically done.

We open a favorite scenery, the rainbow just made to drag into the landscape, and then free to change the size and angle, and then changed the blending mode and opacity on the OK.
