This is the final result of this episode, a dramatic sunset photo at the beach with lens flare highlights from the sun and warm bokeh circles spreading across the edges of the image. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Photoshop series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Lens flare and bokeh are light effects that make photos feel cinematic. The trick is to create both on separate layers with the screen blend mode, so their position and intensity can be adjusted anytime. Open the sunset photo at the beach.
Create a new layer named 'flare' and fill it with black. The lens flare filter cannot be applied to an empty layer, so we use a black layer.
Select filter, render, lens flare. Place the center of light exactly at the position of the sun, adjust brightness around 120%, then click OK.
Change the blend mode of the 'flare' layer to screen. The black disappears and only the light highlights and lens reflection circles remain. Lower the opacity if it's too strong. Create a new layer named 'bokeh'. Using hard round shapes of various sizes and different opacities, scatter circles along the edges of the photo. Then apply a light Gaussian blur and set the blend mode to screen. The circles become soft light circles.
Add a gradient overlay of orange and pink tones to the 'bokeh' layer to match the colors of the sunset. Save as PSD and export as JPG.
Done. We have created the lens flare on a black layer using screen blend mode. Scattering the bokeh, blurring it, and coloring it with a gradient overlay. The effect module is complete. In the next episode, we will enter the export and workflow module. Need to edit product photos for marketplaces, retouch photos, design posters, or create social media content?
