Document Summary
Useful photoshop tips and tricks for photo retouching: naturally increased light. To control the intensity, you can draw more light onto a separate layer or increase already existing light. Set blending mode to colour dodge and the opacity to about 15% - 30% Then use the brush tool with a soft brush and hold the alt/option key to pick up colours from the area that you want to brighten. Use a second layer in overlay mode to increase not only the light, but the saturation which makes for more realistic results: simulate infrared images. Open a photo in camera raw, or file open as smart object. Apply basic adjustments to optimize your image, then switch to the hsl/grayscale tab. Check convert to grayscale, and set the blues down to around -85, greens to +90, and yellows to +20. When applying a levels adjustment, you can set black and white points in order to decrease color tints.
