Photoshop Tutorial 5: Adding rainbow into a picture

Starting photo: Ending photo:

Step 1: Add a New Layer above the Background Layer

The Layer palette is showing the Background layer. To add a new blank layer above the Background
layer, click on the New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers palette.

Rename the new layer “layer 1” to "Rainbow".

Step 2: Select the Rainbow Gradient

Click the Gradient tool from the Tools palette, or press shortcut key G on your keyboard to select it:

Then, click on the Gradient Picker in the Options Bar at the top of the screen

This brings up Photoshop's Gradient Editor. By default, the rainbow gradient isn't in the list. We can
add more gradient. To do that, click on the right-pointing arrow in the top right of the Gradient Editor:
Then click on the Special Effects gradients to add the rainbow gradient. Click Append so you'll still
have the original gradients available while adding new gradient.

Next, select Russell's Rainbow, the last one at the bottom.

Step 3: Select "Radial Gradient" from the Options Bar

Go back up to the Options Bar at the top of the screen and click on the Radial Gradient option so that
the rainbow will appear in circle shape

Step 4: Drag Out a Rainbow with the Gradient Tool

In order to let the rainbow appear as an arc, position the mouse at the right edge of the image (slightly
below the tree), and click and drag all the way to the left as shown in the left picture below. Hold your
Shift key down as you drag to constrain your gradient horizontally. Release your mouse.
Step 5: Change the Blend Mode of the Rainbow Layer to "Screen"

Layers palette, click on the down-pointing arrow beside the word "Normal", and change the blend
mode to Screen by selecting it from the list that appears:

Step 6: Apply Gaussian Blur Filter to the Rainbow layer

To make the rainbow look more realistic, Blur filter is needed. To do that, go up to the Filter menu,
select Blur, and then select Gaussian Blur. This brings up the Gaussian Blur dialog box:

Set the radius to 25 pixels (The setting depends on the resolution of the image) and click OK.

Step 7: Add a Layer Mask to the Rainbow Layer

With the "Rainbow" layer still selected, click on the Add A Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the Layers
palette:

Grab the Gradient tool once again from the Tools palette if it's not still selected and then click again on
the Gradient Picker in the Options Bar:

Select the Black, White gradient and set the gradient option to Liner Gradient

Step 10: Apply the Gradient in the “Layer Mask”

A real rainbow would normally appear to get brighter as it reaches higher into the sky. To do that, we
need to fade out the rainbow at the bottom. With Gradient tool selected, draw a straight line from
bottom up (hold down shift key when dragging) to add the masking.

Step 11: Duplicate the Rainbow Layer to Increase Intensity

Duplicate the rainbow layer by dragging the layer into the second last icon at the bottom of layer
palette. Reduce the opacity of the duplicated layer to 70%
