  • Adding sunshine effect...

    Isac, is there an action or steps to phiz up a photo, adding a sunshine effect in PS...??

    Absolutely. It would depend on what you wanted to do. I wrote a Photoshop action called "Sunset" that turns just about any landscape into a sunset scene and it's fully adjustable to get the look you want. It's HERE if you want to have a play.
    You can also add a sun into a sky with a sunburst solid brush, adding a solid colour overlay and playing with the FILL and BLEND MODES.
    Do you have an image in mind? If so, post it - explain what you want to do to it and I can give some ideas on how to achieve it. Happy to help.
    Here's one I did with just a couple of layer adjustments. BEFORE-AFTER.

      Not a brilliant shot, with all the street furniture...

      But I was asked to take photos of the village fore the U3A web site, which included pubs etc.

      My approach was to add a blue sky to the grey blob above, and up the photo with more Whites, this generally made it smile a little...

      Thanks for the actions, I will try them out...

        Here's what vI would do to The Black Horse Inn. First in ACR: The shadows really needed a boost.

        I hope this helps. It's all subjective of course. Also I would have placed the whole pub in in the centre which is sometimes against the rules but I think it would work better to highlight the pub. Do you have a link to the U3A site?
        Let me know if you want the PSD file.
