Hi balavalli...

Apart from using hue and saturation and photo-filter, what else did you do to get to this stage? I do see you added a lens flare. I know of the PS filter but how did you create that?

ooops.... now you see him, now you don't,,,, :cheesygrin:


For what it's worth and in case you applied it directly on the original image or duplicate.... it's better to apply the filter on black or 50% gray filled layer (choice depending on the lightness or darkness of the image), play with the layer modes and lower the opacity. In this way you have an extra control of the intensity.

In my example, I've set the flare layer mode to Screen with lowered opacity. I also added a white layer to soften the image. Don't mind the guidelines.... they're added in just to give me a sense of where to position the flare on the base image ......

Try applying the above mentioned procedures before proceeding to color adjustments on the base image.....

It isn't loosing, the word is losing. It should read Stop losing your photos and customers!

Not balavalli's fault, Ralph. Blame the designer of that sample he used.... :rofl:

@balavalli .... I've seen that landing page design from a freelancer site and it had a lens flare. I must say tho that I find it's flare positioning a bit off. Your take on it is better .... but I would suggest for you to be different. Look for another image for you to experiment the effect manipulation on. In this way, it's a totally different challenge for you to emanate without a sample to duplicate...... just saying.

And chances of you coming up with a unique and better look is greater.....
