I’ve got the following challenge: a light bulb shines above sky clouds and has a very bright, shining light. I got the bulb and the clouds, but how to achieve/simulate the bright shining of the light bulbs remains unsolved so far.
Any ideas highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Fiter – render – lighting effects
That’s one tool. It is much like a graduated layer with automatic masks.

Then you can add very soft drop shadows with large size and offset, and edit them using a mask.

And some fancy hand-airbrush work.

I have no online examples to point to but someone else might.
