Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 766 Adding a snowflake bokeh “on the lens”, part of Deke's Techniques.
- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…This week, we're going to add this bokeh,…or a pleasing blur to the top of the image…to simulate the effect of snowflakes landing…and melting on the lens.…And we're going to be doing so, entirely non-disruptively,…without resorting to file bloating smart objects.…Here, let me show you exactly how it works.…Alright, so here we are,…looking at those big, blurry, translucent circles,…which are intended to look like snowflakes…that have landed on the lens and melted.…
We're going to start things off in this very snowy composition,…which features a layer group,…this folder at the top of the layers panel, called, on lens.…If I twirl it open, you can see that we have…a couple of layers, on lens 1 and on lens 2,…and I created each one of these circles,…just using the brush tool, by the way.…And so, I'll go ahead and select the on lens 1 layer…for a moment, and then I'll right click…inside the image window.…I went ahead and cranked the Hardness value up to 100%,…
