Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 493 War of the Worlds: The sun attacks!, part of Deke's Techniques.
- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…This week, I ask you to suspend all disbelief…as we blend this lightning along with these synthetic clouds…and our beloved sun in order to create…this horrifying image of this war of the worlds…in which the sun is actually attacking us.…While that might seem a little bit far-fetched,…it's actually a great demonstration…of advanced blending inside of Photoshop,…specifically how you can combine…vivid light with a reduced fill opacity value,…and how you work with what are sometimes called…the Blend If slider bars.…
The thing is, Blend If actually specifically refers to…a supporting option, which is why I call them…the luminance exclusion sliders.…You don't care, let's get down to it here.…Let me show you exactly how it works.…Here's that final effect just so that you have…one last chance to see it on screen…before our shared imminent demise.…I'll go ahead and switch over to this starter document,…which contains the enormous sun on one layer,…and this lightning on another.…
