How to make rainbow effect on photos? How to quickly add a rainbow to your landscape photos with Russell’s Rainbow in Photoshop? Adding rainbows to landscape photos is super easy in Photoshop.
Let’s open the photo we want to add a rainbow to first.
- Create a new layer.
- Then select the Gradient Tool on the left. It’s shortcut is G.
- I open the Gradients panel under the Window. When I open this panel, various ready-made gradient options will appear. Again in this panel, I click on the small icon in the upper right. I choose the Legacy Gradient option among the options that appear.
- You may not be able to see anything on the screen when I select this. When we scroll down to the bottom of these groups you will see that the option we just clicked appears here. I can stretch this panel a little longer. And you will see the Special Effects folder.
If you look carefully inside this folder, you will see a gradient effect called Russell’s Rainbow. This effect is the ready-made rainbow effect in Photoshop.
- Let’s choose this first.
- Select the Gradient Tool again.
- Choose Radial Gradient which is the second option from the left among the above options. When I select this option, we can create rounded gradients and we will automatically see rainbow colors when draw.
- Here is how I draw from left to right. Where I want the rainbow to be we need to direct it towards it.
In fact, the gradient has a method like this.
We will try to make it look like a rainbow by enlarging it even more. Since it has very sharp lines, we need to soften these lines a little more by giving a Gaussian Blur effect.
- I click on Filter and select the Gaussian Blur option under Blur. Click to Okay button.
- Making sure that the layer we draw the rainbow is selected. I changed the normal option to Screen and we can lower the opacity a bit. According to our photograph, we can evaluate it according to how it looks beautiful to our eyes. Rainbows appear a little fainter on earth and become more visible towards the sky.
Then you can use the mask tool to create a rainbow by erasing the appropriate places that best suit your photo.
