Its light rays or somewhat Jesus rays. So, I am going to use my Lasso tool, the Polygonal Lasso tool and I'm just going to start my Jesus rays coming in from the bright spots of the clouds up here, I know they’re all blown up. You know what, I showed it as a snap shot as I was going by up early, I just want to get the image.
So, I'm going to hold the Shift key down, just so that after I do with the selection, it adds to it. So, I'm just going to go here, then click down here, I’m going to go right down here, and I always like to go wider on the bottom smaller on at the top.
Alright, I hold my Shift key down, just so I can add to it. Actually, you don’t have to hold your shift key down, let’s just do a couple of these just like that and we’ll just go one more for good measure.
Now, you know notice over here, it looks like some rays coming down here, that’s actually a rain, it is actually raining over there and it was raining behind the boat. So, these Jesus rays are just going to compliment them.
Alright, so now that I have that, I am simply just going to press CTRL J, just to put them on its own layer. Actually, you know what, let’s feather them just a bit, select feather —now I should mention that I have this image size down to about 16 inches at 72 DPI just so that the processes in Photoshop go faster. So, I'm going to select feather and now I'm going to feed this about 2 pixels. There we go and I'm going to press CTRL J, just to put those on its own layer as you can see just like that perfect.
Now, pressing control on that layer again, I make the selection again, I am simply going to paint this all in white, 100% white, just like that, there we go.
Now, I can simply just play with your PCD to bring it down some. Now, I’m just going to bring it down half of PCD for now, and using your eraser tool again, now I just want to erase very slowly just to blend into the water just a bit, where it’s going to hit the boat. Big brush is nice.
Now, I'm going to zoom it on the mask and I'm actually going to go a 100% in the eraser function here. And I'm just going to just go up and down mask here. It’s basically kind of have to know where that light is going to stream through the sails and stuff like that.
So, I'm going to actually just go around and erase parts of it away on the boat. Like I know it’s not actually be on the mountain back here, I’m going to leave a little bit. Perfect, just like that.
Now, I know that kind of looks it still looks fake right now, but that’s okay. We’ll get into it, hold on.
Now, what we want to do is we’re going to just going to give a little bit more blur. So, that’s just way too much, but as we feather down of it, we can get a little bit more detail in there, like that. And again, it’s a personal preference. I’m back on the eraser tool, I can just erase away parts that I want. Perfect. Just like that. Alright, let’s just blend that in just a bit perfect. Again, personal preference.
Alright, now I'm not going to fit around with this too long because it is a tutorial, so, let’s just assume, hey you know what, that’s great, that’s how I want. Now, I'm just going to duplicate the bottom layer, just so I have an original of the bottom layer. And I'm going to actually merge the top two layers. So, I'm just going to click the top layer, press Ctrl E to merge it with the bottom layer and now I have a whole image as one.
Now again, because I want more impact, I'm going to duplicate the layer again. I could do that on multiply technique again. And we’re just going to play around with your PC area just like that. And, I'm going to take the top layer. Basically, I'm just doing exactly what I did the first time I did this. And I'm just going to erase back up here, perfect. Actually you know what I kind of like to dark up there, right here and then erase. And I’m just idle one second. Alright, there we go. So you know what, I'm just going to flatten the whole things and think. So layer, flatten, image perfect.
Now, let’s have a pinstripe to this. So, I'm just going to take a blue from the actual image, Alt S just to bring up the canvass sizes go 0.03 just to get that blue pinstripe. Alt S again, and let’s just go– let’s just see what the five inches on this image just perfect. Yeah that’s good. But you know what, that blue is not showing up. So, let’s go back and give it a 0.2 pinstripes, there we go, and we’ll go five.
Now, you know what, just because I'm being picky, let’s go to a point .1. I’m not a big fan of big thick pinstripes. There we go, now it shows it up. And let’s put a title in. So, using the same colors in my pinstripe, I'm just going to come over here, let’s just type in C Cloud, and we’ll go 2008, center it and I’m just going to get this nice and big so you can see it and let’s just find something that C worthy. You know what, let’s see if we find a nice script or something. There we go, we use that and using the paragraph, I can bring in. bring in the space, increase the size, there we go, perfect. We’re going to go u p there, beautiful! That’s about it.
You know, I just add a little bit more dramatic image to the image that I already had. So, I'm going from there, let’s see if I still have one in here, from that to that.
Hope this helps again very simple right, really. Try to keep it simple. If you don’t know how to do this, maybe you should get on the inside and check everything out. Thanks!
