In this tutorial We will learn how to enhance our Renders so that they have a darker more shady look, and that gradient like fill.


First Open Your Render (Pic). I will be using a render from here by Jesse_Boi

Image


Go to Filter>>Blur>>Gaussian Blur


It's all up to you on this effect, use around 3-5. I normally use 5 but I wouldn't recommend using more than 5.


Now you should have something like this.



Image


Ok, now go to Edit>>Fade Gaussian Blur


Set it to 100% and put the blending mode on Hard Light.


Now You're Done!

Simple effect, but worth noting. Good job. (I do wish the pictures were smaller though.)

Already knew about this, and do it. Not worth making a tut about it either IMO, but gj.
