My Entry to Show Your Art or Craft Contest

Hello Everyone,

I am glad to participate in the art and craft making contest by @oppongk.

I am a rookie when it comes to photoshopping, regardless I want to show the world my little experience on Photoshop Glow Effect.

Final Product

STEPS

• Open the picture in the editor
  
  

• Select parts you wish to highlight and cut them out into a separate layer.
• Apply Gaussian Blur(Filter) to the obtained layers and change the effect to Linear Dodge
• Repeat the procedure for different blurring quantities to bring out the glow.
  

• Open Color Lookup adjustment layer
• Select NightFormDay.CUBE
• Add Brightness/Contrast effect and increase the contrast to achieve a slightly darker space.
  

• Select the brush tool with "soft round" and reduce the flow below 50.
• Draw your glow patterns on the Colour Link Layer
  

• You can add different layers and work on different glow patterns
• Apply Outer Glow to the layers of your choice
  

• Adjust the Opacity to suit your choice.
  

I tried to explain the steps as simply as I can. You can always find a tutorial online to help guide you if you wish to do the same.

Thank you for your attention
