Not that
Christmas is well over, you may find yourself browsing your photo
collection after photos of the Christmas tree and all its ornaments.
Well, we have a minor trick which can help you add a little something to
these pictures. Perhaps this is all they need...

1.Load the photo
Most
of the time, lens flare is an unwanted phenomenon, a defect in the
picture. Manufacturers—and even more so, customers—spend quite a few
bucks to avoid such problems. However, there are situations when flare
can spice up a photo. For example, a picture of a glinting Christmas
ornament.

2.
Pick the spot
Before
you start, choose a suitable location for the flare. Pick an area
which is originally lighter and contains some kind of light reflection,
such as the modest glint on this crystal ball.

3.
Flare effect
You can find the effect under Filter/Render/Lens Flare.

Fire it up!
The
dialog shows a preview thumbnail of your photo. Your first task is to
mark the place you picked for the flare—this time, it is the middle of
the ball. Just click the area you want in the thumbnail to place a + mark.
The flare will not only affect this spot and its environs, since you can select a Lens Type
based on focal length. This way you not only get a circle of light in
the middle or a starlike dot, but in certain cases, a bit further, also
the spots of light produced by the imaginary lens. If the flare is in
the middle of the picture, then these spots will be located nearby,
while if you place the main light source close to an edge or a corner,
they will appear further, on the opposite side of the picture. Feel
free to play around with different Lens Type settings to find which one gives the best result for your picture. We chose 50-300mm Zoom.
The last step is setting the Brightness
of the flare using the slider. Adjust this value carefully as a strong
circle of light may cover many details in the picture, and can be too
outstanding and may therefore ruin the mood of the photo. In addition,
the areas around the spot of light lose contrast, so you may want to
start with a photo with a strong contrast, such as the one in this
article.

A new star is born
In
the place of the previous light spot, a stronger flare appeared with a
starlike effect. Additionally, you can also see a few lens flares not
far from the sphere, as if it were produced by a real lens. |
