Then apply about 15 pixels of <strong>Feather<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Press G and select <strong>Linear Gradient<\/strong>.  Then open <strong>Gradient Editor<\/strong> and choose <strong>Transparent Rainbow<\/strong>.  Apply it vertically over the selection from top to bottom.<\/li>\n<li>While the selection is active, press Command + T for <strong>Free Transform<\/strong>.  Then choose <strong>Transform<\/strong> > <strong>Warp<\/strong> under <strong>Edit<\/strong>.  Using Warp, you can distort the rainbow selection into an arch shape.<\/li>\n<li>Next, we want to make the rainbow look like gradually diminishing to the right.  Using the Layers Palette, add <strong>Layer Mask<\/strong>.  We use Gradient again.  Click on the layer mask and press G.  This time, we use Radial Gradient.  And draw the gradient line horizontally.\n<li>Finally, you need to use <strong>Brush Tool<\/strong> to erase rainbow over trees.  And we can&#8217;t use Blend Mode to reduce light this time because we want to all the colors.  So lower opacity, instead, under the Layers Palette.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<table width=\"440\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"mac\/tutorials\/photoshop_rainbow\/photoshop_rainbow_01.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"mac\/tutorials\/photoshop_rainbow\/photoshop_rainbow_01.jpg\" \"140\" height=\"105\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"mac\/tutorials\/photoshop_rainbow\/photoshop_rainbow_02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"mac\/tutorials\/photoshop_rainbow\/photoshop_rainbow_02.jpg\" width=\"140\" height=\"105\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"mac\/tutorials\/photoshop_rainbow\/photoshop_rainbow_03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"mac\/tutorials\/photoshop_rainbow\/photoshop_rainbow_03.jpg\" width=\"140\" height=\"105\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table width=\"293\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"mac\/tutorials\/photoshop_rainbow\/photoshop_rainbow_04.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"mac\/tutorials\/photoshop_rainbow\/photoshop_rainbow_04.jpg\" \"140\" height=\"105\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"mac\/tutorials\/photoshop_rainbow\/photoshop_rainbow_05.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"mac\/tutorials\/photoshop_rainbow\/photoshop_rainbow_05.jpg\" width=\"140\" height=\"105\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\nPhotoshop CS2 is a product of Adobe Systems Incorporated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think it was around November.
