Today’s tutorial we will present how to create an amazing dreamy effect in Photoshop. In this tutorial we use very simple techniques, and combine a whole heap of images together to make a wonderful and creative sparking dreamy effect. Let’s get start…

Open the photo below:

Create a new document (640×480), move the photo above into this document. Duplicate that photo 3 times and arrange like this:
