It's optimal to use a graduated neutral
density filter in the field but sometimes an image may need just a
little more graduated effect. This can be accomplished in PS2
using the following steps.
- LAYER ... DUPLICATE
LAYER ... OK
-
"G' use mouse and "shift key" to draw a line of direction of grad
ND filter
(dark is where the arrow starts, the longer the line, the softer the
effect)
-
under LAYERS PALETTE, select SOFT LIGHT
-
use OPACITY SLIDER to adjust/reduce the effect of the gradient filter
-
LAYER ... FLATTEN IMAGE
Use the HISTORY TOOL to revert back to the
original image in specific areas if needed.
