Hello all!

I'm trying to create coloured light effect on a photograph to replicate how sunlight shines through a stained glass window.

I wonder if anyone knows of a way of doing this? Particular brushes or something?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks in advance..

That looks great! Thank you ceyhun akgun.

Sorry, i'm afraid I don't know where to find those functions. Should I be looking for Blending Modes somewhere in the menu?

Many thanks!


Hi eddiepostpones,

You may find blending modes under Transparency(Windows >Transperancy) panel.

Here is a detailed tutorial on How to edit artwork using transparency and blending modes in Illustrator

Hope it helps!

Regards,

Srishti

Hi eddiepostpones​!

You might want to try the folowing.

  1. Create the floor (any suitable image)
  2. Duplicate the window image (Copy, Paste)

  3. Flip the stained glass window vertically (Right+Click, Transform ->Mirror)

  4. Stretch the duplicate image vertically
  5. Create a rectangle with gradient (white to black)
  6. Select the gradient and the duplicate image.

    In the Transparency panel menu -> Make Opacity Mask
    Now your duplicate image is fading downwards
  7. Apply a blur effect to the image. Increase the blur radius depending on the size of your image
    Effects -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur
  8. In the Transparency Panel, you can make the blending mode Screen, 100%

  9. Duplicate this object (Copy, Paste in Front).

  10. Change the Blending mode to Saturation to brighten the colors.
    You can duplicate some more if you like.
  11. You can add a 3D rotate filter to make it more realistic.
    Effects -> 3D -> Rotate

Agree it's really a job for a pixel program like Photoshop, if you have that maybe a bokeh type treatment, like here:

Once you have your graphics in Illustrator, you can use the Blur value in a high frame. You can use Blending Modes (overlay, screen, color, etc.) if needed.
