Every time I see the light of Jesus (that is, the beam from the clouds), can not endure to press the shutter, because this is nature's wonderful, the sky's canvas is often converted, where the scale cloud, Jesus light and so on are relatively few, therefore, very cherish the opportunity to see them.

Nature and the weather is really can meet but not to beg, the painter door can draw out Jesus light with ingenious hand, stylist and photographer again can help Photoshop to make Jesus light come? Let's try it now.

　　Step 1: Open the photo

But this time we have a bit of a demand for photos, and there's a need for clouds in the photos, and cracks in the clouds because the Jesus light penetrates through the cracks in the clouds.

Step 2: Press Ctrl + j (or CMD + j) To copy the background layer

On the Layer Control Panel, you will find two identical layers

　　Step 3: Simply change the new image to black and white

One of the quickest ways to turn a layer into black and white is to set the saturation (saturation) to 0 in the hue/saturation (hue/saturation) tool.

Press Ctrl + U to directly call out the hue/saturation (hue/saturation) tool, and then set the saturation to 0.

When finished, a color and a black-and-white layer should appear

Step 4: Select a single black and white layer

First, select the selection tool for the single line.

Long Press Marquee Tool tool, Photoshop will let you choose the other Marquee Tool, select Single Row Marquee Tool.

Then, in a black-and-white layer, select the most varied line of clouds, like the following figure:

　Step 5: Copy the selected single line of clouds to another new layer

Pressing Ctrl + j (or CMD + j) automatically copies the selected places to the new layer.

Layer 1 is not a blank layer, it has a row of clouds that have been copied.

　Step 6: Enlarge and deform the single cloud

The Black-and-white layer has done its job and we can hide it or discard it. If you want to hide the black and white layer, press the icon on the left side of the layer.

Now, make sure that the layer (Layer 1) of the single cloud is selected, as shown above. Then, press CTRL (or CMD) and click Layer 1 with the left mouse button. You will find that only one line of photos is selected.

Then press Ctrl + t (or CMD + t) to call free Transform (freeform) tools. The dotted line will turn into a straight line and three square handles that are in the left and right side respectively.

Pull the middle of the square handle down, the screen will appear a lot of black, white and gray line, these lines will become our Jesus light.

Drag free Transform (freeform) tool of the eight handles can control the size of the image, if you want to transform the image, you must press the CTRL (or CMD) key to drag the Four corners. Adjust the range and shape of the Jesus Light, and then press the ENTER (or return) key when finished

　Step 7: Blur the Jesus layer of light

Pull out the edge of the light too sharp, Jesus light is hard, but because the reflection of the particles so that it does not cut the hands of sharp, so we need to use the Guassian Blur tool to blur it slightly.

Select Filter > Blur > Guassian Blur ... Call out the Guassian Blur tool, and remember that Jesus light is a hard, small amount of ambiguity can be.

Step 8: Change the layer mode to screen

　　Step 9: Change the opacity of the layer

Reducing the opacity of the Jesus Light layer can make the light and background more harmonious.

　　Step 10: Add a Vector Mask to the Jesus Light layer

After you have determined that the Jesus light layer is selected, add the Mask (shading film) to the Jesus light layer by adding the Vector Mask icon.

　Step 11: Modify the Jesus Light

Press D to set the foreground color to black.

Press B to select Brush Tool, and then in the position of the head of the Brush Tool of the flow value of the lower to about 10%, because we hope Brush Tool effect is gradual, rather than several times, also do not try to paint. Flow is a bit like the strength of our writing.

Everything is ready, you can start to cover too stiff with Mask, such as the Jesus on both sides of the light, Jesus light at the bottom of the false straight line. In this paper, the black on the Mask is shown in red in the photo for reference.

After the Mask, the effect of the following figure:

　Step 12: Jesus the color of the light

If necessary, you can use hue/saturation micro-adjustment Jesus light color to make the Jesus light more compatible with the background, pressing the ALT (or option) key, according to the new adjustment layer diagram, and then select the Hue/saturation alt (or option) key release.

Successful, the following screen will appear, remember to check the use Previous Layer to Create clipping Mask, because we only want color changes occur Yu Yu light layer instead of all layers. Finally, you can use Hue to adjust the color of the Jesus light.

After the Hue/saturation adjusted appearance:
