flashes of light

Try this. Also works with most other bitmaps editors such as Corel PhotoPAINT.

I’m trying to add a colored lens flare to a photo, so that it looks like a flash of colored light is coming out of the subject. Any ideas?
BTW, I’m using PS5.0

Thanks!
Lisa

Look under your filters for "Lens Flare". I believe the lens flare filter is included with PS 5.

Thanks Mike. It is included in PS 5. That’s what I was planning to use. What I’m really looking for is a way to make the light colored, like a beam or flash of colored light coming straight at you. Unfortunately, it appears that the lens flare filter only comes in white light.

Any other ideas? 😉

Thanks again,
Lisa

Is blending modes for layers included in PS5?
I don`t remember. For PS 6&7:

->new layer -> fill it with black -> apply lens flare -> Hue/Saturario (any color) -> set "Screen" blending mode for layer

PS 5.0 supports layers – so put the flare on another layer and use curves to add color.

Here’s a more complete procedure, using Hue/Sat instead of curves:

1) make a new layer, and fill it with black
2) set the mode to lighten
3) add a flare to the black layer
4) use Image>Adjust>Hue/Sat, check the colorize box, increase the saturation, and move the Hue slider until you get the color you want. —

I’m not sure, but I’ll let you know. Thanks for your input!
