Hello, I downloaded the Lite version for now, but cannot run it. I double-clicked on both *.zxp files but the only thing that happens is another winrar window opening with no *zxp file this time. Could you please give me a tip on how to proceed? Thanks a lot
Try doubleclicking on the ATN file instead. The ZXP file is for Adobe Extension Manager.
Very inspiring! Keep up the great work.
Impressive Work...Love it.
Hello!
This is probably a dumb question but I can't seem to reposition the light leaks, and it's driving me crazy. Help?
Hi Kelsey,
Not a dumb question at all! There's two ways to doing it:
First way: Select all of the light leak layers then go to Layer > Convert to Smart Object. Now you can reposition the light leaks.
Second way: Double-click on each of the light leak layers (starting with the bottom layers first). This will open the Gradient Editor to which you can drag anywhere on your image/canvas to reposition the gradient.
Hope this helps!
thx!!!
I don't know why but adjusting the opacity to 90% looks about the same but with more details.

The before picture of the couple looks better. It's overly faded make it 50% opacity and it'll be good. The second picture of the cityscape is a perfect example. Third picture is fakish but can be better. The last picture is precisely what KUSHANDWIZDOM does lol.
Not a huge fan of the light leaks but the ultra faded looks are amazing. Nice stuff!
