Best Way to Add Lens Flare in Photoshop | All Versions

Learn how to easily add gorgeous lens flare effects to your photos using Photoshop's Lens Flare filter without making any permanent changes to your image!
We'll start by learning how Photoshop's Lens Flare filter works, and how to position our lens flare exactly where we need it. Then, to keep the lens flare non-destructive, we'll undo the effect, add a new layer, and then instantly re-apply the Lens Flare filter using a handy shortcut!
Finally, we’ll use the power of layer blend modes to blend the lens flare into the image, and finish off by adjusting its colors to better match the colors in the photo. We’ll also apply some blurring to soften the effect and help it look more realistic.

Thank you for this well explained and handy video. Thank you also for not spending the first 2/3 of the video talking about yourself and over explaining something that's really quite simple. I've bookmarked this to refer to in future in case I forget the instructions.

Im using the lens flare to light up small solar lights. I need a larger preview screen to see where Im putting the flare. How can I make the preview screen larger?

[@JB-lg9lf]

why do you choose gausian blur ?
why did you choose the mode " screen " ?

Here's an idea: How about a tutorial on removing/ repairing Light Leaks on a digital image? I do 19th and early 20th century digital restoration and among the batch of images I was sent by a client was one from 1956 which bore a horrible light leak which I tried, without success, to remove using half a dozen techniques. There are virtually no good tutorials about removing these and those that do exist are by operators none of whom agree on an approach. There is not, apparently, a general, useful approach to removing light leaks. Worse, are operators who call something a light leak that is actually not a light leak. (Photoshop gurus are notorious for this.) To be clear: a light leak is a by-product of an analog film camera caused either by a compromised camera seal, or operator error in not rewinding the film completely into the film canister, and opening the back of the camera too soon. It can also be caused in photo lab processing, which is less common. It typically appears as a streak or blob of discoloration emanating from the EDGE of the image. A useful tutorial on digitally removing these image defects would be very welcome by restorers such as myself. Again, light leaks in older cameras is much less common as the film used was less sensitive to light, or the image was not produced on celluloid film. See example here: drive.google.com/file/d/1PVfZpKuuIcjDVcheawIyRbokejaR4GW2/view?usp=drive_link
