Creating Fireflies in Photoshop


I have a portrait from a fairy session last week that is just screaming for fireflies to be added to the scene.

Any suggestions on how to digitally add fireflies with Photoshop?

  I don't have much experience with Photoshop, but I know that at least with Inkscape (and probably Photoshop too), you can draw a nice little pointy star with a yellow and white gradient and duplicate it to speckle the image. Maybe you can just use a brightness brush and tap different parts of the picture?

  Try filter-render-lensflare.

You can then make it really small and it looks like firflies. Good luck.
