Photoshop Effects: Focus With Light

Step 6: Add A Second Light Source By Copying The Original One

I now have a light source on the flower, and I could stop here if all I wanted to do was focus on the flower. But I want to bring attention to the woman's face as well and make it seem like the light from the flower is shining on her face. For that, I'll need a second light source. I want my second light source to use the "Flashlight" style as well, so the easiest thing to do is simply copy the original one to create a second one, and then reposition the second one over her face. In fact, I can do both at the same time.

I'm going to hold down my Alt key (Win) / Option key (Mac), and then I'm going to click on the center of my light source again and drag it over the woman's face to reposition it. By holding down Alt/Option as I drag, rather than moving the original light source, I'm copying it, giving me my second light source, already set to the "Flashlight" style, and all I need to do is drag it to where I want it. I'll drag it to the bottom of her nose:

I want to make this second light source smaller, so I'll just drag the top handle inward to reduce its size:

Step 7: Add More Light Sources As Needed

I think I'll add a third light source just to intensify the effect. I'll add one just below her eye on the left. Again, all I need to do is copy one of my existing light sources. I'll copy the one I just created, so to do that, once again I'll hold down my Alt (Win) / Option key to create a copy of it as I'm dragging, and I'll drag it just below her eye. Then I'll drag one of the handles inward to decrease the size of this third light source a little:

I think that looks pretty good, so now that I'm done adding my light sources, I'll click OK to exit out of the Lighting Effects filter.
