Just rewatched this - I would have always made a solid color layer then selected pixels and masked in the color, but you did it without making a solid color layer at all! Choose the pixels, and press option + delete and it fills it in with the color! I have never seen anyone do that before! So awesome what you put in these videos - thank you again
OK I'm fairly handy with Photoshop but this made me feel like a third-grader dropped into an upper-level college Physics class! More here than I can absorb. Glad others got something out of it and you obviously have a lot of compositing talent.
Thank you, amazing tutorial. I have been looking for something similar for my art work. a divine glow light falling on an open book. is this the same technique I should follow and instead of Blue, I should use more whitish light? Thank you, appreciated.
I am not able to widen my glow rings by unlinking the mask from the layer, command/click the layer to get marching ants on the ring, in the layer holding the option key down; about 23:30 in the video. The behavior I get is always to move the entire ring. I've done it several times with same result...I must be missing something, I mimicked your keystrokes exactly. Thanks, Lee
Make sure you have the rings layer selected and when you're dragging the ring, hold down the option key (MAC) or alt key (PC). This will copy the pixels of the ring rather than moving them, effectively making your ring thicker by copying it onto itself.
@@nuclylearn Thanks, I thought the action was supposed to enlarge the area of the ring, I have been duplicating it but not thinking that was the right solution.
