Looks impressive but are the sun rays and circles CGI?
If so, a good way to enhance a photo

Filter / Render / Lens Flare

Photoshop has a lot to answer for

PSP7+ also has those effects

When you have seen them before, you notice them all over the place.

I think Photoshop is a little better at rendering lens flare than in that image. Looks more like someone's just marked out some circles and lightened the image within them !

you cant beat a real bit of flare can you ?



Was dead chuffed when I got this one from the camera!

looks very much like a PSP effect.

Ive never found this on PSP7.
Is it also on PS Elements?

I like using the drawing packages but rarely get time to look at all they can do, theres just so much.
I generally use them for minor changes and printing.

This is an example of the P'Shop lens flare filter/generator:

The purple circle is a dead giveaway that its a Photoshop effort! It definately livens up a dull picture though.

It's called Sunburst under PSP, it's in the illumination menu (PSP 7)

Honestly didn't know what I was doing and I knocked it up at work after clicking some random buttons!

Thought it looked OK so put it in profile.

What impresses me most is the feature 'Image/Adjust/Add Lighthouse...'

LOL! I didnt mean your picture was dull, i meant in general it can be useful for livening up dull pictures! On your pic though, i probably would have had your car at a different angle and got down a bit lower - eg.

car head on at an angle running towards you from left to right, with wheels on left hand lock. Get down really low to the ground and still get the perspective of the lighthouse in behind it.

Just a thought - still a nice pic - i thought you'd used a grad blue filter until i realised the top of the lighthouse wasnt blue

I hope i've caused no offense

Heheh, no offence taken. I agree, it's not one of my best but it does look quite cool on my new phone...
