Filtered Sunlight Lines This tutorial will show you how to create a realistic filtered sunlight lines.
Step 1:
Lets start with this Lotus Elise. We are first going to choose the object tool and select the diagonal line option that I have selected in the below image.
Step 2:
Drag your diagonal pattern onto your Lotus. Adjust the image so it is just overlapping the outside of your host subject image.
Step 3:
With your new layer choose the overlay layer.
Step 4:
Now choose Filter/Blur/Gausian Blur. Set the radius to about 3.1.
Step 5:
Reduce the opacity of your lines to about 70%.
Step 6:
Choose the polygon lasso tool and select the excess diagonal lines around your subject image. Like I have below. Once selected hit the delete key. This will get rid of the un-needed lines.
Step 7:
Now you want to make the lines look a little less uniform. You can do this by clicking on Edit/Transform/Distort.
Step 8:
Once distorted we are going to apply a gausian blur again. Click on Filter/Blur/Gausian Blur. Set your radius a littler higher this time. I have chosen 4.7.
