Into a nighttime image using Photoshop Elements and it’s camera raw feature.
Let’s get started. I’m using Elements 15 for this challenge.
1. Open an image using File>Open in Camera Raw. Versions 11 and older Camera Raw is found as File>Open As>Camera raw
2. You can use these settings as your starting point.
3. Once you having looking like it was night time, click on open image.
4. Save this image using Save As – name it my blue image or whatever you like. Use PSD, TIFF or JPG.
5. Re-open the original Image using in Camera Raw as you did in step 1.
6. You can use the setting shown below as a starting point to create the lights in the nighttime image.
7. Once you having looking like it was lit by the lights, click on open image.
8. Next select all (Ctrl/Command+a) and copy (Ctrl/Command+c).
9. Go to the tab with my blue image and paste (Ctrl/Command+v). (You Need to have PSE 9 and newer to use Tabs)
10. If you get a warning about the image click on convert depth.
11. While holding down the Alt/Option Key apply a layer mask to the top layer.
12. Select the Brush tool with a soft sided Brush and set the opacity to between 20% and 25%. Make sure the foreground color is white.
13. Make sure the layer mask is selected and paint where you want the light. Since the opacity is set low each brush stroke over the same area will increase the effect.
Optional Steps if you have a sunburst, starburst brush. You can give your light sources a starburst effect with the following:
14. Add a new blank Layer
15. Set your foreground color to fbf317 or any yellow color.
16. Select the brush tool and set the opacity back to 100%
17. You can use the built-in Starburst brushes or download and load a third-party sun/starburst brush and paint over the light sources. You may need to change your blend mode and opacity to get the look you are going for.
