Recreate the light by hand from the reference photo to the "submission photo". NO AI! Use pen tool, and opacity tool and layers... Yeah it will take time, but if one person actually follows directions and does this by hand, they will probably win. Would love to find someone who actually reads directions. I am looking for someone who can do this work on an ongoing basis. I need someone who has talent and know how to create - copy as closely as you can - the sunlight and sunstreaks from "REFERENCE PHOTO" and apply to the untouched photo, all by hand - no ai, no copy and pasting. You must do all work by hand. I've done this same contest in the past, and 95% of the participants just submitted some AI junk. So please read this carefully. 1. all work must be done by hand. This means you have to study the reference photo and add the sunlight and shadow to the file named "SUBMISSION PHOTO". Copy the light AS CLOSELY as you can. 2. this will involve using brushes, blending modes, feathering, pen tool, etc. 3. Whoever can recreate, by hand, the light from reference photo will win the contest. I have a need for about 15 of these types of images to be done each week, every week, until the end of time, and the winner will be asked to do this work on an ongoing basis. 4. in your submission, TELL ME HOW YOU CREATED THE LIGHT (so I know you just didn't do the usual ai cheating that everyone else did). Don't waste your time by cheating or trying to use AI, because I will know if you do that. All work has to be done by hand. BY HAND. The winner will be rewarded generously for the foreseable future, and by submitting, you must be willing to do this work in the future.

Hello, Please take a look at my Entry #134 All sunlight and shadows were created manually in Photoshop, following your instructions. I recreated the lighting by hand using the Pen Tool, custom shape layers, soft brushes, feathered selections, Gaussian Blur, layer masks, blending modes, and hand painting techniques. No AI, overlays, or copy-and-paste effects were used. I would appreciate your feedback. Thank you!

Please see #117 This lighting treatment was developed specifically for your submitted photograph. I recreated the sunlight manually in Photoshop using Pen Tool paths and separate vector masks for the column projections, valance, right wall, countertops and floor. Warm Screen/Linear Dodge layers create the light; Multiply layers form the mullion shadows. I hand-masked the lamps, jars, plant, chairs and fixtures, then refined the result with Curves and Color Balance. No Generative Fill, copied light pixels or AI imagery was used. I’m happy to refine intensity or softness.
