Photoshop Light Paintings

Photoshop Light Paintings 

These are some examples of light paintings created in Photoshop. 

The first stage of making light paintings in Photoshop is by creating a new layer over your selected image and by selecting the paths tool draw over the image in lines and swirls. Select the brush tool and adjust the settings to what effect you want. In the paths window select the paths then click on stoke path. Go to blending options then outer glow and inner and adjust the settings. The Second stage is to create a new layer, select the brush tool and the colour to white. Go to the brush presets, change the size, the spacing, the scattering, and the size jitter. Use the brush tool do draw around some of the previous lines. Using the layer blending options add some outer and inner glow then reduce the opacity of the layer. For stage three, go back to the layers you drew the paths in, click the layer and press delete. A final thing that can make the image look good is by clicking the background image, going to image-adjustments-hue and saturation, select colourize and make the image all one colour.
