Adding light to an image in Photoshop is a simple process that can be done in a few steps. By using the brightness/contrast tool, you can increase the overall lightness of an image.
You can also use the dodge and burn tools to add light and dark areas to an image, respectively. Finally, by using a layer mask, you can selectively add light to certain areas of an image.
The brightness/contrast tool is the simplest way to add light to an image in Photoshop. To use this tool, select the layer that you want to modify and then click on “Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast.” In the dialogue box that appears, you can use the “Brightness” slider to increase the overall lightness of the image. The “Contrast” slider can be used to increase or decrease the difference between the light and dark areas of the image.
The dodge and burn tools are another way to add light and dark areas to an image, respectively. To use these tools, select the “Dodge” or “Burn” tool from the toolbar and then set the “Range” and “Exposure” options in the options bar.
The “Range” option determines whether the tool will affect only the highlights, midtones, or shadows of the image. The “Exposure” option determines how much light or dark will be added. To use these tools, simply paint over the area that you want to modify.
Finally, you can use a layer mask to selectively add light to certain areas of an image. To do this, create a new layer and then click on “Layer > New > Layer Mask > Reveal All.” Next, select the brush tool and set it to a soft round brush with a white color.
Then, simply paint over the areas that you want to add light to. You can also use a black brush to paint over areas that you want to keep dark.
In conclusion, there are several ways to add light to an image in Photoshop.
