Im after pointers on how to achieve effects like these in photoshops, ive seen stuff on simple flares and now quite competent with those (thanks to TP)
How can you guys achieve effects like this in PS, any pointers?
Looks like an overlay, in photoshop, the light pattern is a separate layer. You could either use masking or just the eraser tool, to delete some of that layer to reveal the couple on the other layer underneath.
Im pretty sure that this is not an effect but some clever shutter dragging, think around 1/4 sec exposure, some fill flash on the people and panning with the camera, should donit
Or take some photos of pretty lights add skme motion blur in ps then layer you image on top
Is this the third or 4th thread you've started, asking how to recreate a 'look' in processing that's almost certainly been done in camera?
I suggest getting away from the computer and learning some photography Once you've got that nailed, you'll learn how to enhance / improve / cheat in photoshop.
I apologise if that sounds harsh, but really? Good photographs start with good camera skills. Though plenty will tell you how stuff 'could' be done in Photoshop, they can't take a crap picture and prove it. Pick your camera up and practice.
Which is great, my issue is the assumption that it's done in post or could be recreated in post. Which is how the questions are always phrased and often answered (often incorrectly).
Post in the PP section on here! Or, get used to your camera, ask your better half if she has any small bits of sparkly jewellery, hanging sequins / swarovski beads / glass beads etc etc just in front of the lens to capture some glare. Much quicker and easier than taking a photo then spending some time in photoshop!
