Blog 4: Bloom

Bloom

What is Bloom?

Bloom is a shader effect to show the intensity of the light coming from the scene. Bloom is a post-processing technique used to make the scene brighter and create a warmer atmosphere to the scene. 

Steps To Create a Bloom Effect in Photoshop

1) Load an image and create a copy of that layer.
2) Blur the copied image using Box Blur or Gaussian Blur with large value by going to Filter>Blur>Box Blur or Gaussian Blur.
3) Increase the brightness and reduce the contrast on the blurred image. You can change the brightness and contrast by going to Image>Adjustments>Brightness/Contrast.
4) Add both images together by going to your "Layers" tab and change the blending mode for the blurred layer. You should change the blending mode for the blurred image from "Normal" to "Screen".
