How to Add Light Rays to your Photo

The most important thing to remember when adding light rays to your images is that the rays must come from a light source to look realistic. If you add light rays coming out of the middle of a person’s face, they are going to look fake.

Here are some examples of photos that will work with this action.

  • Backlit Photos – Any time you can see the light source in your image, it is a back-lit photo. For instance, if you are photographing a person, you want the main light source to be behind the person, not the camera.
  • Early Morning or Late Evening – When the sun is at a lower angle in the sky, light rays tend to be more preset. Avoid applying the effect to photos where the sun is high in the sky.
  • Through Trees or Clouds – If there is nothing obstructing the light from the sun, there will be nothing to cause a scattering of light rays. Look for trees, buildings, people, clouds or any other object that will block some of the light from the sun.

After installation, double-click on the PHLEARN Light Rays Action and follow the on-screen instructions.

You will be guided through a simple process that will create beautiful light rays on your photo, all you have to do is place them over the light source.

Quick Tip: Try duplicating the Light Ray group for more effect.
