How do I create this special lens flare effect?

Hey all!
So I was wondering how to create a lens flare-like effect. I should mention that I already know how to make the circle lens flare effect in after effects but I'm looking for more of a colored "wash" lens flare effect.
The effect is in this video starting at 00:16 seconds, with the lady in the car and the pink/yellow hues bouncing around.
http://vimeo.com/60631128
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or at least pointing me towards a tutorial or just the name of the effect so i can find a tut.
Thanks all!

First created shape layer that is Close to the base color you want for your flair. Second add fast blur or Gaussian blur of a value that is about half the size of your shape layer. Change the blend mode to add, duplicate, increase the blurb about 50%, duplicate repeat until you get what you want. Many times when creating this kind of an artificial lens flare effect I would use many different colors in the same flare. Sometimes I will make the layers 3-D and move them around in 3-D space.
The only other really good option is to buy some stock footage of real lens flares and colorize them using color grading effects.
by the way, one color grading and creating "light" affects you should always work with 32-bit projects.

How do I create a sparkle or flare effect?

I have a client that would like a sparkle to come of his teeth sort of like a Mr. Clean ad. Just a brief little sparkle sort of thing with a little twisting action would be perfect. Any suggestions?

Hi -
A quick way to do this in FCP 7 is to select a lens flare from the Generator Button, the button that is on the lower right of the viewer (with the "A" on it).
Choose Render > Lens flare
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/LensFlare.jpg!
This will load a lens flare into the viewer. Edit it to the track above the video you want to place the sparkle on for about the duration you want it to be on. Then Control - Click on that clip in the timeline and from the drop down menu, and select Composite Mode > Add.
Double click on the clip of the lens flare in the timeline and, using the motion tab and controls tabs for the clip that are in the viewer, you can adjust the look of the effect so that it resizes, twirls and fades.
Hope this helps.

How can I create this special frame/shadow in Photoshop Elements? (see picture)

Hi there, I'm completely new with Photoshop Elements and want to create a certain shadowed frame for some website pictures... can you tell me if there's a ceratin technique, plugin or other freeware (mac) which lets me act this way?
The frame/shadow should look like the picture lays on the ground, creating some clean yet lively 3D effect.
Thanks for your help!
Tobias

Now it could be at my end, because my normally rubbish connection has suck into the depths of barely usable tonight, but I am not seeing a picture, just a frame. And this is not actually the Elements forum, even if I could see the image.

How do I create this line path/fade effect?

Hi Guys,
I was just wondering- i saw this clip and am wanting to recreate it in a different colour / slightly different, but really though the styling was great.
I imagine it can't be too hard to accomplish in motion, but was unsure how to go about it.... i've made the swirl shapes in photoshop, but can't figure out the best way to 'reveal' the line (its not a simple line path really as the line changes shape/width/size)
The video is here: http://www.worshiphousemedia.net/index.cfm?hndl=details&tab=MO&id=6610
Many many thanks in advance,
Adam

this tutorial migth get you off in right direction, the drawing line one from same site is also really good.
http://www.motionsmarts.com/tutorials/skywriting/skywriting2.html
You could also try using masks to reveal different parts of your image over time by keyframing them? the more layers you have your original images on the more versatility you have - speed of revealing can vary as well as amount etc.
hope that kinda-semi-helps : )

HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account. I've seen reference to the "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app. I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

Use the bezier tool to create your shapes, give the shapes an Airbrush outline. Then apply a Write On behavior to each shape. Position the shapes in the timeline so they appear sequentially. To achieve the zooming out effect, you can either scale the whole group, or convert the group to 3D and use the camera to zoom out.

How do I create a new lens profile?

How do I creat a new lens profile for a Canon EF135mm f/2 and EF200 f/2.8 in lightroom 3.3?

Hi Simon,
Thanks for your reply. I figured it out, I downloaded the new version of Raw 6.3 and now I have the lens profile and others such as crop constraint and
chromatic abrerrations. I was looking for these items in Photoshop Raw
Thanks,
Aideen
If I understand you correctly, you found and downloaded a lens profile that matches your camera and lens, and you don't see the profile in LR?
1. Make sure that you relaunch LR after you downloaded the lens profiles.
2. The type of lens profiles (raw or non-raw) matches your image type (raw or non-raw). Namely you can only apply raw lens profiles to raw image files and vice versa for the non-raw profiles.

How do I create a line-Map animation effect

Are you using PSE or Premiere Elements? You can't do this in PSE. For PRE, better to ask in their forum, since very few of us here use it:

I want to reset my bootcamp Windows 7 to factory setting. How would I do this without damaging or effecting my Mac data?

I want to reset my bootcamp Windows 7 to factory setting. How would I do this without damaging or effecting my Mac data?

If you want to erase the BootCamp Partition, you'd use the Bootcamp utility.
Then that part of the Mac's hard disk drive may be available for use in OS X.
{Or, if you want to install a clean Windows 7 in the same BootCamp partition
you'd use the BootCamp utility to erase/install Windows in the same location.
There is a BootCamp Support section in Apple Support online, and also there
is a fairly OK ASC discussions area specific to that purpose. }
But you may have to check to see if the partition map is correct for Mac OS X
after you've used Bootcamp utility to remove Windows and the partition map.
If you do not use the BootCamp utility to remove Windows, correctly or if a
different method to install Windows was used, you'd have to move your Mac
OS X system and applications off the computer to an external hard drive by
use of a clone utility (carbon copy cloner, or superduper, etc) then use the
OS X disk utility (from running clone, is easiest) to erase the computer's HD
and then correctly partition map and format the hard drive for Mac OS X.
At that point, the entire drive would be erased to reclaim any untouched
partitions from alternative Windows utilities that were used, or not used in
the time frame of proper opportunity.
I've had a few Macs that had been partitioned for Windows and found one
second hand MacBook to have more actual hard disk drive capacity than
the previous owner and the Mac HD info suggested on first glance. About
70% of the drive had been a Windows partition, but was invisible to OS X.
So that turned out to be a lucky find, it was like installing a larger HDD.
The wording of your question leaves a lot
of important information out of the picture.
Good luck!

How do I create this color-picker-HSB gradient?

What seemed trivial at first glance has turned out as quite a challange!
I would like to create a special kind of black/white/alpha gradient to mimic the HSB color picker in Photoshop:
Saturation
0 100
+--------------+ 100
|white.....pure hue|
|.....................| B
|.....................| r
|.....................| i
|.....................| g
|.....................| h
|.....................| t
|.....................| n
|.....................| e
|.....................| s
|.....................| s
|.....................|
|.....black......| 0
+--------------+
I've tried numerous ways of blending screen/multiply, setting gradient smoothing to 0-100%, using layer masks, etc, etc - but when I compare my composite with a screenshot of the Photoshop color picker - I'm still not even close! :-(
Is the gradients non-linear? Is gamma involved?
I downloaded a low-res png-24 of this unique gradient from the internet, but would like to make a hi-res version (and understand how it works!).
Additionally, my layer mask isn't black white but black and pink! I can't wrap my head around that color management thing...
Best,
Robert

Photoshop has not given us a tool to produce gradients in HSB (only RGB). In order to get the color picker slices it does produce, Photoshop itself is obviously able to create HSB gradients.

Creating a rate calculator [was: how do i create this?]

I want to create a rate calculator on a website with 2 input fields: calling from and calling to. Here is what i've got:
CALLING FROM table:
COUNTRY     $/MIN
Africa            0.10
Europe          0.20
Asia              0.30
CALLING TO table:
COUNTRY     $/MIN
Africa           0.20
Europe         0.30
Asia             0.50
USA             0.10
Basically to get the rate $/min the CALLING FROM selected country and the CALLING TO selected country will be added together i.e calling from africa to USA would be $0.20/min (0.10 + 0.10).
- How do i create the database for this? (in access)
- How do i then create the rate calculator in a webpage? (asp/php)???
I would really appreciate anyone who will be able to help me in this.
Thank you very much.
Natalie
[Subject line edited by moderator to indicate nature of question]

Create a database table with 3 columns
Country
ToRate
FromRate
Populate these values as appropriate.
Create two drop down menus on your page; FromRate and ToRate. Populate these with the values (Display value and rate) from the table.
Then, you could either:
1) Submit the form to a server side script that adds and displays the values
2) Use Javascript to add and display the values

How do you create THIS "grid" in Oracle Forms

Hi,
I am new to Forms. I have to develop a grid very similar to the one shown here.
How can you create the grid in the bottom??
I can't see using any of the standard Oracle toolbox items (like multi-record blocks) for this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
User 122...

Hi Soofi,
Appreciate your quick response.
In the image, can you see a huge grid?
Grid column headings are days of the week, Mon, Tue, Wed etc.
Grid Rows also have names, like Room, Status and Rm. Type.
Cells have various values in various colors (red, blue, green etc) and signs like ">>".
Can you see that??
My question is, how to create a grid like this in Oracle Forms??? We cannot do it using a multi record block.
So, how have they done it??? The form in the image is an actual Oracle Form from a hotel reservation system.
