Hi there, I am sure this has been asked but can't seem to find the reply. I took some Christmas photos of kids with a white background. I would like to add fake bokeh warm lights in the background...either warm yellow or silvery grey...how can I literally copy and paste bokeh from one photo to my white backgrounds? Thank you for your time

    You would have to select the "warm lights", then copy/paste to the destination photo.

    Suggest that you google " bokeh brushes", and you can download a free set. I have a set called ss bokeh. They utilize the foreground color. Then, open a blank layer above the photo, and use the brush(es). Note that you can adjust the brush opacity or the layer opacity to suit.
