Anamorphic flares and sun glow

Anamorphic lenses stretch bright lights into long horizontal streaks. That flare is a big part of the widescreen cinema look, and here it comes as a ready plate.

Sun glow and haze plates are softer. Put them in a corner where the light would come from to warm up a flat outdoor photo.

Blend mode Screen · opacity 30–80%. Line the streak up with a light source in your image.
