warm sunlight again . . .

I think this is my new fave action, here is another shot I used the action on today, I'll have to post the sooc too, so once I dig it up, I'll put it up as well. Sorry to tell you the sun flare is a fake...hehe



To achieve the effect of a sun flare with PS.

Go to (Duplicate the layer first) Filter->Render->Lens Flare-> choose the 50mm lens up the effect to 100-150% depending on what you like . . then erase back in the ultra bright spot at about a 65-80% opacity for more of a natural effect, then flatten the image and whola it is done!

Wow! Thanks! I was just about to spend a lot of money on a flare action somewhere else, and I never even thought to look into photoshop for it! Your pictures are gorgeous, and thanks for the tip!!!
