Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 12:25 pm

Adding lens flare in Photoshop is a great way to add drama and interest to your photos. There are many different ways to create lens flare, but one of the easiest is to use the Lens Flare filter. Here’s how:

1. Open your image in Photoshop and duplicate the background layer. This will be your insurance in case you don’t like the results of the filter.

2. Go to Filter > Render > Lens Flare. A new dialog box will appear.

3. In the dialog box, choose the type of lens flare you want to add from the drop-down menu. There are many different options to choose from, so experiment to see what looks best with your image.

4. Use the slider to adjust the intensity of the lens flare. Again, this is a matter of personal preference.

5. Click OK when you’re happy with the results.

And that’s it! You’ve successfully added lens flare in Photoshop.

PRO TIP: Adding lens flare in Photoshop can create some interesting effects, but it’s important to be aware of a few things before you start. First, lens flare is typically only visible when there’s a bright light source in the image, so if your image doesn’t have one, the results may not be what you’re expecting. Second, lens flare can easily become overdone, so it’s important to use it sparingly. Finally, keep in mind that lens flare is usually associated with lower quality images, so using it too much may give your image an unwanted ” amateur” look.

Adding lens flare in Photoshop is a great way to add drama and interest to your photos. By using the Lens Flare filter, you can easily add different types of lens flare with just a few clicks. Experiment with different settings to find what looks best with your image for truly unique results.
