Creative Lens Flare: Fabulous Flare Effects in Post
Add creative lens flare to your images in a controlled way using Photoshop and this action and image resource.
This action pack includes a collection of 4 actions and 18 resource files for adding creative lens flare to your images.
Add creative lens flare to your images in a controlled way using Photoshop and this action and image resource. Use this resource pack to create a variety of lens flare effects that look a whole lot more realistic than the Lens Flare filter that ships with Photoshop. Unlike the Lens Flare filter in Photoshop, the supporting flare files in this Action Pack are ‘real’ flare files captured to provide an authentic look to your processed image.
Blend in one or more ‘real’ lens flare effects (captured with real lights and camera lenses) and then carefully position and mask the effects for maximum effect. The action set includes 4 options to add single or double flare effects and each has an aged photo option to add even more character to your image. Each effect takes just seconds to apply.
Top Tip > Try to position the hot spot of the supporting flare file you select in an area of your image near the light source, e.g. if the sun that is lighting your scene is coming from the left hand side of your image position position the hot spot on that side.
