In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create light rays in photoshop. Light beams can add atmosphere to any image that has a strong direction of light and is quite simple to create in Photoshop. Here we will put rays of light into a forest scene using separate layers and the radial blur tool. We will also fine tune the light beams using layer masks and the smudge tool. This is a really fun tutorial and I’ve provided the image so you can complete the tutorial with me. I hope you liked this tutorial.
