Photoshop tutorial: Put a cutting edge spin on the lens flare
effect - — 15 September, 2010 13:20 Step 5 Select the rectangle
layer and go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Use 20 pixels for
the Radius. As this layer is inside a folder with Color Dodge,
the blurry edges will create a really interesting lighting
effect. Step 6 Add a new layer inside the folder with the
rectangle. Select the Brush tool (B) with a very soft brush and,
using white for the colour, paint a second light source. Step 7
Repeat the same process with the Rectangle tool (U) and the
Brush tool (B) to add more elements to your design. For the
light in the centre, create a few vertical lines and then go to
Filter > Blur > Motion Blur. Use 90º for the Angle and set the
Distance to 90. This will create a stylish reflection effect.
