Adding a rainbow to your photos in photoshop

In this tutorial, we will be learning how to add a realistic rainbow into our images in 4 steps. This simple tutorial can help you add flare and color to almost any photograph. You can download the stock image below.

FINAL PREVIEW

STEEP 1
To start off the tutorial, open the stock image into Photoshop. We are gonna go straight into the gradients window and click down the small arrow that lets us go into special effects. When
that is open, we should find a gradient preset called Russell’s Rainbow.

STEEP 2

Now that we have Russell’s Rainbow selected, make sure Radial Gradient is selected. Make
a new layer and create the rainbow circle similar to below

STEEP 3
After the circle has been applied, we want to apply a small Gaussian blur which can be done
by going to Filter – Blur – Gaussian Blur.

STEEP 4
For our final step, we will start erasing the unnecessary parts using a soft brush. When that
is finished, change the blending mode to darken and lower the opacity to approximately 35%.

Fourth Lesson : Adding background image

Open your butter-man :DD image.



Now, open (bring) the image of space background, that I have posted already.



Press 'V' or click move tool and drag the background image to your model's picture.
Now, do you remember how to adjust the size of the picture?
Press Ctrl+T to tilt, adjust the size. Press Enter after you have adjusted the size. Please cover all the picture like this:



Then change the opacity to around 50%.



Press Ctrl+J to copy the layer and you may see that the space image is now much clear.



Now, select the Copied Layer and go to Filter->Render->Lens Flare



You may place the lens flare in your WANTED-place, and I recommend 35mm Prime Lens, as it's very clear than Movie Prime or 105mm. Let the brightness be 100% or you may adjust if you want.



Change the mode to overlay of your Copied Layer and change the opacity to 100%.



Tadaaaa! You managed to finish this! CONGRATULATION!
