There are many ways to create light flares in Photoshop, but one of the most popular and effective methods is by using the “Rays” filter. To create a light flare using the Rays filter, follow these steps:

1. Open your image in Photoshop. 2. Duplicate the background layer by going to Layer > Duplicate Layer. 3. Go to Filter > Render > Rays. In the “Rays” dialog box, set the Length to 100 and the Thickness to 6. Click OK to apply the filter.

4. Change the blending mode of the duplicated layer to “Screen”. 5. Add a layer mask by going to Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal All. Then, use a black brush to paint over areas where you don’t want the light flare effect to appear. 6. Finally, go to Image > Adjustments > Levels and drag the middle slider to the right to increase the brightness of the image if necessary.

And that’s it! By following these simple steps, you can easily add a realistic light flare effect to any image in Photoshop.
