Summary

Here's an easy way to make your sunrays twice as nice, producing both the beam of light and making the things it strikes light up more.

Publication Date: 11-Jan-21

Duration: 5:14

The principle in the video is as follows:

Draw a vector shape for outlining the sunray.
- Add a blur.
- Add gradient that fades from sun to transparent end of ray.
Duplicate the shape, including blur.
Reverse the gradient.
Add an adjustment that changes the image to how the sunlight would affect what is striking, eg. Brightness and Contrast.
Add the reversed gradient shape as a mask so the adjustment only appears at the end of the sunray.
Note: The sunray shape may also be used as a mask, for example to constrain a fill layer that colours the shape.
