Have you ever seen an impossibly dream-like landscape photo? One with a slow burning, glowing sunset. That’s really the best way to describe it, the image looks as if it’s glowing. You might be thinking, “wow, I wish I was that good and could take a picture like that.” Sure, great photographers are capable of creating fantastic compositions and take advantage of great light, but a lot of the magic occurs in the post processing. Post processing is really where a photographer will accentuate and achieve that glowing look.

您是否看過一張夢幻般的夢幻風景照？ 一個緩慢燃燒，發光的日落。 這實際上是描述它的最佳方法，圖像看起來好像在發光。 您可能會想，“哇，我希望我這么好，可以照這樣的照片。” 當然，出色的攝影師能夠創造出奇妙的構圖，并能充分利用出色的光線，但是很多神奇之處都在于后期處理中。 后期處理實際上是攝影師強調并獲得發光效果的地方。

This glow added to a photo is known as the Orton Effect. Technically, the Orton Effect is combining two different images of an identical scene to create one final image. That’s really the basic concept behind this glowing effect, we will use two different images to create our final product. Now, before we go any further I want to mention a slight disclaimer. Please don’t add this effect to all of your photos, it will look silly. In my opinion, the orton effect creates a soft, dreamlike image. I love to use it with soft glowing sunsets and waterfalls. When used with waterfalls I think it produces an image that looks like it is straight out of a fairytale. To explain this technique I’m going to walk through an example of how I post processed this image of Aysgarth Falls that I captured last summer. Below is the unedited image.

添加到照片上的這種光暈被稱為Orton效果。 從技術上講，Orton效果是將同一場景的兩個不同圖像組合在一起以創建一個最終圖像。 這實際上是這種發光效果的基本概念，我們將使用兩個不同的圖像來創建最終產品。 現在，在我們進行進一步討論之前，我想提一下免責聲明。 請不要將此效果添加到所有照片中，它看起來會很愚蠢。 在我看來，orton效果可以營造出柔和，夢幻般的圖像。 我喜歡將其與柔和的日落和瀑布搭配使用。 當與瀑布一起使用時，我認為它會產生看起來像是童話般的圖像。 為了解釋這種技術，我將通過一個例子來說明如何對去年夏天捕獲的Aysgarth Falls的這張圖像進行后期處理。 下面是未編輯的圖像。

It’s a beautiful waterfall, and I love the way that the long lens here compressed all of the smaller waterfalls in the foreground. Going into this edit I knew there were a few things I wanted to see. First, I wanted to get rid of those people standing at the top right of the waterfall. Second, this was a gloomy, english day, I needed to add some pop of color to the image. Last and most importantly, I wanted to add an orton effect and create that dreamlike look. Below is the finished image. Follow along until the end to learn how to create this look.

這是一個美麗的瀑布，我喜歡這里的長鏡頭壓縮前景中所有較小的瀑布的方式。 進行編輯時，我知道我想看幾件事。 首先，我想擺脫站在瀑布右上方的那些人。 其次，這是一個陰沉的英國日子，我需要為圖像添加一些色彩。 最后也是最重要的一點是，我想添加一個Orton效果并創造出夢幻般的外觀。 下面是完成的圖像。 一直進行到最后，以了解如何創建此外觀。

The first thing to do is import the original RAW file into Lightroom. Here I’ll make a few color adjustments, correct my exposure, and recover some shadow and highlight information. Then it’s time to move the file into Photoshop. To do this, right click on the image →edit in →Adobe Photoshop 2020 (I have entire blog post about why this is so important, go check it out). As you can see in the image below, my exposure is in a good place, and the colors are starting to look better.

首先要做的是將原始RAW文件導入Lightroom。 在這里，我將進行一些顏色調整，更正曝光并恢復一些陰影和高光信息。 然后是時候將文件移到Photoshop中了。 為此，請右鍵單擊該圖像→在→Adobe Photoshop 2020中進行編輯(我有整個博客文章介紹了為什么這樣做如此重要，請檢查一下)。 如下圖所示，我的曝光處于良好的位置，并且顏色開始看起來更好。

Now, make any necessary adjustments in Photoshop. For this image, I’m going to further recover the sky, remove the people, and add some color pop. Giving us something like this.

現在，在Photoshop中進行任何必要的調整。 對于此圖像，我將進一步恢復天空，移走人員，并添加一些流行色。 給我們這樣的東西。

We have now made our Lightroom adjustments and our basic Photoshop adjustments, and it is now the moment we have all been waiting for, the Orton Effect. The first step is to make sure that you are selected on your top layer. We are going to create a merged visible layer above that layer (this will be our new top layer). To do this on a Mac, hold down [Command+Option+Shift+E]. The next step is to add a Gaussian Blur to that merged visible layer. To do this make sure you are selected on the merged visible layer. Head up to the top and select Filter →Blur →Gaussian Blur. Set the blur somewhere around 30.

現在，我們已經進行了Lightroom調整和基本的Photoshop調整，現在正是我們一直在等待的Orton效果。 第一步是確保您在頂層被選中。 我們將在該層之上創建一個合并的可見層(這將是我們的新頂層)。 要在Mac上執行此操作，請按住[Command + Option + Shift + E]。 下一步是向合并的可見圖層添加高斯模糊。 為此，請確保已在合并的可見圖層上選擇了您。 轉到頂部，然后選擇濾鏡→模糊→高斯模糊。 將模糊設置在30左右。

This will make your picture look like an out of focus mess. Not to worry, we aren’t finished yet. To create this dream like look, we only want the blur to be showing in the brighter areas of the image. There are two ways we can do this. The first is the most basic, but won’t result in the best outcome in my opinion. Create a layer mask for the blurred layer, and use Command+I to invert the layer mask. Then use a white paintbrush to paint in the blurred layer to the brighter areas of the photo. The second way, which is the method I use, is using a software called Lumenzia. This software will allow you to create precise layer masks with gradients based on the brightness of the photo. These are called Luminosity masks. This will basically apply the blurred layer to the brightest areas for you.

這將使您的圖片看起來像是聚焦混亂。 不用擔心，我們還沒有完成。 為了創造出這種夢幻般的外觀，我們只希望將模糊顯示在圖像的較亮區域。 我們有兩種方法可以做到這一點。 首先是最基本的，但我認為不會帶來最佳結果。 為模糊的圖層創建圖層蒙版，然后使用Command + I反轉圖層蒙版。 然后使用白色畫筆在模糊的圖層上繪制到照片的較亮區域。 第二種方法，即我使用的方法，是使用稱為Lumenzia的軟件。 該軟件將允許您根據照片的亮度創建帶有漸變的精確圖層蒙版。 這些被稱為光度蒙版。 基本上，這會將模糊的圖層應用于您最明亮的區域。

Once the blurred layer has been masked into the bright areas of the image, you are nearly finished. Chances are the orton effect is looking slightly heavy handed at the moment. I suggest bringing down the layer opacity to around 40%. This will make the image look more professional, and the orton effect less obvious. The final product is a dreamlike landscape, brought to you by the orton effect.

一旦模糊層被蒙版到圖像的明亮區域，就快完成了。 此刻，Orton效果可能看起來有些沉重。 我建議將層的不透明度降低到40％左右。 這將使圖像看起來更專業，并且orton效果不太明顯。 最終的產品是夢幻般的風景，由奧頓效應帶給您。
