In order to get started, we need to open a photo of a girl and a photo of a window in Photoshop. You will also see clearly the girl’s face This will give photos more brightness, clarity and some drama. This is how the image will look after changing the light level, after we add light from the window, falling on the girl’s face and the wall behind her. The wall is so bright that it is a little difficult to look at the girl’s face: Here is the image from which I will start the work – the girl standing in front of the wall. You can dream up and invent any other object through which the light will fall, which will lead to incredible results! You should not confine yourself to a window as a source of light – the field of activity for creating this effect is extensive. At first glance, this may seem complicated, but in reality everything is simple. To add light, we will use the Levels adjustment layer with a layer mask, and to enhance the light effect at the end we will consider using a special blend mode. Do not spend a lot of time searching, as we will not use the window itself, but only its outline. If you do not have a picture of the window, find some image on the Internet.

You will need a photo to which you will add light, and a photo of the window.
