Quick Lens Flare Tutorial

Make this Image hosted by Photobucket.com in less than two minutes in Photoshop Elements. Can probably be translated into other Photoshop programs.



First, I start with this cap from Lost-Media:
Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Then I crop and resize:

It would look best if the image is a little off-center.

Then I make a new layer and put the blending style on Overlay:

Merge the image.

Go to Filter-->Render-->Lens Flare:
Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Play around with the settings until you are satified.

This is your final result.
