Want to make your Photoshop edits look more realistic and cinematic?
Lighting can completely change the mood of an image. With a few simple adjustments, you can add depth, focus, and atmosphere to your design.
Here's a simple workflow:
Create a new layer for the light
# Use Soft Light or Overlay blend modes Paint soft highlights with a large brush Add shadows to create more depth
( Use Color Dodge for stronger light effects
@ Control the intensity with opacity

viewer's eye
