How To Adjust Lighting In Post Production Using Photoshop

On this video tutorial, Photoshop product manager Bryan O’Neil Hughes takes a look at introducing a new light into an image in Photoshop.

This interesting video takes a look at a technique for changing the lighting in an image using a curve adjustment layer. The next step will be to add a lens flare to create artificial lights in a parked car. The entire process including adding pretty realistic lighting coming out of the car’s lights takes only a few minutes – a great demonstration of what you can achieve with Photoshop in a short amount of time with the right tools.

This isn’t the first time we are looking at a tutorial for changing day into night using Photoshop – if you are interested in doing this – make sure you watch this Howard Pinsky video as well.

B.T.W. is it just us or can Hughes switch places with Canadian actor Kris Holden and nobody will notice?
