unshine in Photoshop

Photoshop Tutorial - Sunshine
The bitter winter will be over soon, but real, crisp sunshine is still to come. So, we thought you might like a procedure that generates sunlight. Sometimes you encounter a sad, colorless photo on your monitor. Or even in dazzling sunlight, the camera might not reproduce exactly the milieu basking in the rays. By increasing color levels and color contrast, this feeling can be emulated quite well, especially when concentrating to warmer colors. Read on to learn how. As a small gift, you can even download the executable action of the procedure at the end of the article. But still, it’s worth to read it.

1. Open the photo
The photo we have here was taken in strong sunlight, but this cannot really be noticed. It’s high time we brought back some of the original feeling.

2. Triplicate
First, switch the color mode of the image. Click Image/Mode, and switch from RGB Color to Lab Color.

 As for the next step, instead of the familiar layer duplication, we’ll be triplicating. Click Layer/Duplicate Layer and then OK. Repeat once more. Now you have three identical layers. Select the uppermost one for the next action.

3. Sunshine
Click Image/Apply Image and set the values indicated above. Mind two settings: Set Channel to 'b' (one of the color channels in Lab Color mode), and Blending to Linear Dodge.

4. Layers in one
Now return to our favorites, the layers. As you can see, the uppermost one has been treated rather drastically. Stay here for a while and set its blending mode from Normal to Multiply.
Now click the empty square to the left of the middle layer. You have just linked the two layers. You need to do so in order to merge them. Click the small arrow in the upper right corner of the Layers palette to display a menu, and choose Merge Linked. This merges the two linked layers.

5. The sun from between clouds
Now we have an upper layer with lively, warm colors, and a lower one with the original color levels. You have to add the effects from the upper layer to this one. You can lure out sunshine from the rather dark upper layer by choosing the Screen blending mode. If the effect is too strong, decrease Opacity to refine it. We set 55% but once again, choose the value according to your taste.

6. How much more alive…
...and cheerful these colors look when compared to the original! One thing you have to keep an eye on is increased color noise. If you detect increased noise, set a lower Opacity.
