Light Effects in Photoshop

In this tutorial, we'll learn how to create light effects in Photoshop.

1) Opens a new document with the 800 × 600 px, and fills the background with black.
2) Open an image that you want to add a light effect. I used this image of DaSkinnyBlackMan.

3) Using the Pen Tool, select the person in the image. When done, press Ctrl + Enter to make the selection. From the tool palette, choose the Rectangular Marquee Tool, right click on the image and select Layer via Copy. Use the Move Tool to move the person's layer in this image to the open document at the beginning.





4) Selects the Gradient Tool and uses the settings in the following image to fill the Background layer.







5) Create a new layer (Ctrl + Shfit + N), then press Ctrl + G to create a new folder and change its blending mode in Color Dodge.




6) To create a spark effect we will use the brush engine. So we can customize any brush. Select the Brush Tool , click on the icon tiled below, and then put the settings in the image. Then select the colorwhite , and uses a brush you just created to achieve an effect similar to the image below.






7) Use this tutorial to create abstract lines similar to those in the image below. These lines must be in the Light Effects folder. You can create a separate folder, but do not forget to change its blending mode inColor Dodge .


8) Create a new layer (out of the folder), then using the Lasso Tool with the settings below, make a selection as in the next image. Press D to reset the colors, then go to Filter> Render> Clouds. Change how this layer joins in Soft Light.



9) Create a new layer, press Ctrl + G to create a folder, and then change the blending mode of this folder in Color Dodge. Select the Brush Tool, choose a brush size 1px, and performs horizontal and vertical lines. Then go to Filter> Blur> Radial Blur and set the settings in the image below. Press Ctrl + J to make multiple copies of this layer, then use the Move Tool to move the layers into different parts of the image.

Now your layer palette should be similar to the one below.



10) Select the layer that contains the person (Layer 1 in the above image). Press Ctrl + J to make a copy of this layer, then copy the layer to the original layer. Click Ctrl + Click on the image of the copy layer, go to Select> Modify> Contract and set the value to 2 px. Press Ctrl + Shift + I to reverse the selection, then go to Filter> Blur> Radial Blur and use the settings in the image below. Change the linkage of this layer to the Linear Dodge and put an opacity of 60%.

Photoshop Magic For Newbies!"

 

Hi, my name is...  Fabian Barajas and I have my own photography business. I shoot digital and it's no secret that I love Photoshop. I have been using it for about 5 years now. At first I was very intimidated by it. At one point, I even uninstalled it from my computer thinking I could never learn the darn thing. I eventually reinstalled it and purchased several Photoshop Books (which had more pages than I cared to count) and searched the web for lessons that I could use and easily master.

Needless to say, my search led me down many dead-end roads. Many of the tutorials were dull and boring or simply did not apply to my photography business. It was time consu- ming to search and separate the good from the bad. I wanted to take my photos to the next level. As a result, I have often times came up with my own way of doing things in Photoshop that other so-called Photoshop experts would consider unorthodox or just plain wrong. But to me, the only thing that matters is the end result.

 

Take a good look at the images you see here. I have personally edited these photos with EASY to follow techniques that you too will learn in my new video series, "Photoshop Magic For Newbies."
