Here in this tutorial I show you how to create a nice ray of light, hope it will be
useful, also wanted to say sorry if my English is not very good, try to do the
best I could
STEP 1
Start duplicating the background layer
STEP 2
Go to--->Image--->Settings--->Levels
STEP 3
We modify the sliders to exaggerate the light parts of image
STEP 4
Create a layer mask and we invest pressing CTRL+I/COMMAND + I in MAC
STEP 5
We take a brush in white low hardness and paint on part to expose.
The opacity of the brush to use 42% and 0% hardness
STEP 6
We create a gradient. Open the gradient editor, change the gradient to NOISE
Mode color and put it in HSB saturation down and click OK
STEP 7
Change the style to ANGLE and move the ANGLE and the gradient.
Press OK. Blending Mode Weft(Modo Trama)
STEP 8
We add an adjustment layer Levels on the layer and connect with the layer
down to only affect this
STEP 9
We are located on the gradient layer of black paint and brush whit hardness 0%
to hide what we are not interested to display.
STEP 10
We create an adjustement layer intensity (83%)
STEP 11
Go back to duplicate the background layer to darken the image
STEP 12
Create a layer mask, take the brush opacity down and we mask parts of the image
STEP 13
To change the color of the rays of light CURVES and we will modify our individual
channels (red-blue-green) and lower the opacity to your liking
STEP 14
Now apply a mist effect: FILTER--->BLUR--->GAUSSIAN BLUR and move the handle to our liking
After all the layer in one group.
STEP 15
Finally we add a new layer and paint with black brush with 20% opacity to paint
the top of the ray
ANOTHER OPTION
You can give the effect of color, for that after work we add a new layer, we choose a color
and paint the entire layer, then putting it in COLOR mode, added a layer mask and brush with
black color with an opacity 25% or so and painted light rays or where we want them and would
stay so, here are some examples:
