My Sunshine Glow Brush Effect

If you’ve ever wanted to enhance the look and feel of the sun in your photos, there’s some cool tricks we can do when we combine a bit of brightening with the Sunshine filters (for some glow). In this video, I’ll walk you through a technique I use quite a bit in Lightroom, but it translates really well over in to Effects too. Enjoy!

    Hallo Matt,
    Nice tuto. Beautiful effect.
    what are the exifs for this picture ? which basic rules do you advise to take pictures of sun without burning the sensor ?
    Can we do a similar effect with a light leak filter ?

      Hi Marc – not really. The way I showed works best.

      Hi Marc – you usually select a very small aperture to get a starburst type effect, although the quality and pattern of the effect varies between lenses.

    Great tips! And just when I need them as I am editing my recent trip to Ireland images. I never thought about using the adjustment brush, especially that way. Thank you.

    Thanks for the tips, very timely for me. I have some recent fall photos where I shot into the sun so will try this soon.
