This is probably the most comprehensive tutorial on how to apply the glow effect. I've been struggling to get the formula down pat with other tutorials, but this one was explained thoroughly and efficiently and renders the best results. Thank you my friend, you just got yourself a sub.
On Mac, with the foreground color set to black, it is OPT + DEL for a fill command, on Windows I believe it is ALT + DEL/BACKSPACE. I recommend playing with different keystroke combinations to see what happens - you'll probably be amazed :)
Such an amazing video sir. I finally felt like I knew what I was doing and I had so much fun making my friend a glow effect. The result is amazing and the Camera Raw adds a whole new look. adds that *chefs kiss* touch. Thanks a lot sir. May god bless you and good luck!!
@@alwaysonart I coudn´t. When I try to mount this two layers and make the blend mode, simply wont work. I dont know why. Im trying for 10 hrs. Gradient with screen is ok, A pixel layer with glow effect is ok but not look like yours.
Great tutorial but quick question, what exactly am I looking to accomplish with the smudge tool. I’m going to try this but I’ve never used that tool. I don’t want to over/under do it
New Subscriber here♥️ May I request for you to make more tutorial about making unique and attracting TH-cam THUMBNAIL with PHOTO MANIPULATION? Thanks in Advance
Excellent video. My only problem is at 8:56 when you select a layer mask with the green beam. My layer mask starts at all white but yours is black with a white outlining of the green beam. How would I be able to have my layer mask look like yours? I am also on a MacBook.
I did a CMD + Click on the layer thumbnail to select the object, then clicked on the layer mask button. Another option is to fill the entire mask with black and then paint in with white the areas you want. Have fun.
@@alwaysonart SIR CAN YOU GIVE ME THIS DR STRANGE HD IMAGE BECAUSE I CAN'T FIND THAT IMAGE. I WILL HAPPY IF YOU SEND ME THAT IMAGE OF DR STRANGE. PLEASE SIR AND AGAIN THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO AND FROM TODAY I AM A REGULAR SUBSCRIBER OF YOU. KIND REGARDS
thank you so much for teaching me the most beautiful thing ever. if you be so kind, could you please teach me how to make it a template to edit on the go.
Glad to hear this. I am not sure I understand your request but I would recommend that you practice this with your own photo and you will be able to create a template that would work for you. Keep trying. Cheers!
@@alwaysonart th-cam.com/video/Ek-6qCkFCCk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tanLmr4U3gts1XtG like this is my channel is this fine is my thumbnail fone will there be problem in monetization??
I think you might be referring to the overlays I used. I got some Benny Productions (paid), but you could prob do a web search for light flare overlay and see what is available. Hope this works!
Hi there! How do you apply the gradient map WITHOUT having it overlapping the whole layer? Any time I click on "gradient map" i just get gradient on my layer, therefore, it's impossible to draw on the previous empty layer. Is it a blending mode that is not shown here?
Things to check: make sure you are adding a gradient map and not gradient in the layer style menu - 2 different things. Also, rewatch the first part where you see the blending modes used. Hope this helps.
That’s a good question but unfortunately I’m not familiar with that application. It really comes does to the blend modes for layers in PS. You would have to research that in PicsArt. Hope you find a solution.
hmmm hard to say exactly, but I would recommend reviewing that you are painting on the mask for that layer and not the actual layer + you can always change the colors and position inside the gradient. It's a bit tricky at times, but keep at it.
idk why but anytime i try to use the brush tool on my layer under the gradient. it never shows up. any idea why? I have everything the exact same way you do. i cant seem to see why its messing up : (
Some things to check.. make sure the black layer is set to Screen blend mode and the blank layer that you draw on is clipped to the black layer and also your Gradient Map adjustment layer is also clipped to the black layer. Review this section around the 0:55 mark. Hope this helps!
It's a standard tool inside Photoshop. It is typically grouped with the "blur" tool that looks like a teardrop. Or you can click the 3 dots at the bottom of the tool panel and search for it. Enjoy.
The option+delete is a Mac keyboard shortcut. This fills the layer with the foreground color. As a tip you can search Google for Photoshop keyboard shortcuts for both PC and Mac.
I have seen people make this effect travel through the body. For example the glow will start in the middle of the body and travel outward through their arms legs until it outlines the subject. Do you know what this effect is called or where I can find a tutorial?
There is a great channel from Nemanja Sekulic on YT. I don't really know of a specific video, but I'll drop a link to video that you might be able to learn some techniques to use for what you describe. Hope this helps. th-cam.com/video/ImjX7O6PN5A/w-d-xo.html
You have to learn more about light composition was nice but the glow was lil illogical. The sharpness of the glow have to have lil bit down and the areas where the light bounce not works like that brother. Neva mind we all are growing. Love from India 🇮🇳
Keep working at it. Maybe replay around the 1:05 time mark. Check the layer blend mode for the bottom layer when using the gradient map. This was a sticking point for others. It can get a little tricky, but don't give up.
on a Mac you can press option + delete to fill a layer with the foreground color. You can press the letter "D" to reset your color well to the default black and white. Keep practicing.
Nice work. But I would add a little touch of blur on the rim glow just to blend it a little more. You smudge it but still. Just my opinion. But nevertheless, great job.
Bro it doesn't work you just say the mac shortcuts i don't know how to do it with pc you should say both mac and pc shortcuts cause somethings you do i can't follow you cause you use shortcuts and only mac shortcuts
Thanks for the suggestions. Typically, you can substitute CMD (on mac) for CTRL (on PC). You can also do a quick search online for Photoshop keyboard shortcuts and it will list a lot more that can be helpful too. If you go back to around the 00:55 mark on the video you'll see the layers needed. This can be a little tricky at first. Keep working on this. Good luck!

So glad to hear!
Excellent job! A real lesson on why mastering the brush tool in Photoshop is worth it.
Glad to hear! Thanks for the comment!
i have a question how did you fill layer to black in 1:04 how did you turn this layer into black?
On Mac, with the foreground color set to black, it is OPT + DEL for a fill command, on Windows I believe it is ALT + DEL/BACKSPACE. I recommend playing with different keystroke combinations to see what happens - you'll probably be amazed :)

Thanks! Can you do same trick with Affinity Photo?
Great question but I’m familiar with Affinity. I would suppose they have something similar. Hope you are able to find out

I wonder if PhotoPea could do this. Haven’t tried but might be alternative.
Great tutorial but quick question, what exactly am I looking to accomplish with the smudge tool. I’m going to try this but I’ve never used that tool. I don’t want to over/under do it
Definitely have to give it go - it takes getting used to. Plus it can processor heavy so PS may lag a bit. Have fun.
You need a million followers!

If I understand you it should be 100% as blend mode is Screen - check out 1:03. God bless

Wow interesting.
Glad you think so!
Please help! Once I apply the layer mask, it applies to everything below it. What should I do ?
Hard to say what’s happening but look to see if you need to clip it to your target. Maybe rewatch to see what step you need. Keep trying and have fun
bro i need photoshop version
This effect can be used on any recent PS version, and I'm guessing versions that may be several years old too.
Can you do that with PicsArt as well
That’s a good question but unfortunately I’m not familiar with that application. It really comes does to the blend modes for layers in PS. You would have to research that in PicsArt. Hope you find a solution.
Wow amazing tutorial
That’s very kind. Thanks
Why is it that when I color with a brush, the color doesn't match the color gradient map?
hmmm hard to say exactly, but I would recommend reviewing that you are painting on the mask for that layer and not the actual layer + you can always change the colors and position inside the gradient. It's a bit tricky at times, but keep at it.
Amazing
Thanks much!

execellent

Man this was torture how everything was explained, awesome glow tho thx.

Sure thing!

So good to hear. Thanks.
Great video. Very detailed & easy to understand 🤙
Glad it was helpful
how do you do option delet
The option+delete is a Mac keyboard shortcut. This fills the layer with the foreground color. As a tip you can search Google for Photoshop keyboard shortcuts for both PC and Mac.
Thanks, very very much🤩🫰
You're welcome 😊
2:31 when I do this nothing happens anyone know what can fix this?
Nvm I didn’t change the brush to white was my problem watched back the vid a few times before I realised 😅
Glad to hear you got it
Worth watching and my sub as well❤️
Thanks so much! Much appreciated.

how about 2 color?
I think I follow your question. You can always add another layer to experiment. Keep working at it
Dude where is the picture that you used?
I just did a search for dr strange and found it that way. You can take a screenshot and search on images.google.com Hope this helps.
Nice
Thanks much
You have to learn more about light composition was nice but the glow was lil illogical. The sharpness of the glow have to have lil bit down and the areas where the light bounce not works like that brother.

Good to know thanks
amazing work but its hard to learn mate
Thanks for watching. Keep trying it out and you'll get it!
I keep trying, it keeps not working. My rage is the same as the color I can't get to show up after following all these steps.
Keep working at it. Maybe replay around the 1:05 time mark. Check the layer blend mode for the bottom layer when using the gradient map. This was a sticking point for others. It can get a little tricky, but don't give up.

Glad to hear that. Thanks.
MY BACKGROUND LAYER IS NOT CONVERTING BLACK BY PRESSING DELETE
on a Mac you can press option + delete to fill a layer with the foreground color. You can press the letter "D" to reset your color well to the default black and white. Keep practicing.

Thanks for watching!
Next time, kindly attach the sample file. So, that we can have a copy.
Understood, thanks
Where the resources
since it is an image online - I did a image search for dr strange and found it that way
Nice experienation but you shortcut key was disabled 😂
All good. Thanks.
I believe you can but tNice tutorials will depend what version you have.
Probably any recent version of PS will work because everything is using common tools. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Nice work. But I would add a little touch of blur on the rim glow just to blend it a little more. You smudge it but still.

It's not working
Keep trying. It can be a little tricky at times. Double check your gradient map. Cheers.
