[@Pandybelly]

That's a great tip. Pity, I don't see enough sun in Ireland to use it too much. 🤣

[@glyndewis]

If you blinked in 2021 you missed it here too :)

[@NottsKnots]

It's certainly simple, and gets you 70% there in terms of realism. I do notice however, that this method will result in the glow being applied to areas of shadow that in real life would have no direct line of sight to the source of the light, and this is a telltale sight that this is a post -processing effect when looking at an image. (I understand that the overlay blend mode lessens them, but they are still there.) Perhaps you could do a more advanced version? Either some experiements with the blend-if slider of the effect or some kind of channel based mask spring to mind as ways to possibly enhance this without manually masking areas in each photo?

[@derekbell-jack9929]

could you try a blend-if option for the shadow sides of the image?just a thought?

[@glyndewis]

Yeah I guess so

[@PhotographybySatesh]

Nothing about these looks realistic. More like nuclear fallout. Just saying…

[@glyndewis]

There's an opacity slider in Photoshop so you can control the strength of each effect...just saying...
