Once I had the handle moved into position, I reduced the opacity of the handle layer and began erasing parts of the handle where my hand needed to be. Once staisfied I returned that layer back to 100% opacity.
Now for the beam, on another layer I used the line tool with the foreground color set to the lightest possible shade of red I could get (almost white). Rasterized that layer and moved the beam into place. On the beam layer I went into the blending options and set the inner glow and outer glow for these I used more of a deeper red color and played around with the choke and spread settings unti I got what I wanted.Attached FilesLast edited by Steve Taylor; 06-08-2002, 12:08 AM.

Now every Star Wars episode I've ever seen, it's the bad guy that weilds the red light sabre. Are you trying to tell us something Steve??? That and sporting a Harley biker shirt. Hmmmm. Looks like we got one tough hombre among us.
All humor aside, excellent neon light effect and you're right, the glow at the base adds a cool realism to it.

Very cool, Steve!
I remember the first Star Wars episode in 1977. I stood in line for 3 hours, on a first date with a boy that I had a serious crush on.
(In case CJ is around here, it was at the Cine Capri in Phoenix - what a great theater that was!)
I still love Star Wars stuff.
Oh, and I like Harley's too - I used to ride a bike... My heart just stops every time I hear one of those puppies...

I just had to do it too
First off, cool image. I really enjoy seeing people work out these kinds of things. Honest. Good job.
Now, here's the funny thing - I dl'd the image and ran it thru a series of distortion filters and after a couple series here's what popped upStrangest thing...

What a great photo! You did an outstanding job adding the light sabre. I would have least thought you just added the glow to an existing sabre, but was impressed to learn that you added the entire sabre. Way Cool!

The fact that this photo was taken with the end reasult in mind made it much easier. Look at the original and you will see.

Hi,
I had trouble understanding what was really going on with those two blend modes when I first started using them. I read some articles, and my basic understanding was that Multiply darkened the layer underneath it and Screen lightened the layer underneath...-

by AtlanaAnnaI'm attaching a picture that is torn in the corner so the shoulder of the subject is missing. I'm also attaching my attempt to repair the image which I don't like at all. I tried to draw in a shoulder and tried to pick up the tones of the blouse from areas that were available using the clone stamp....

by Ed_LAm I the only one who has developed a bad habit, and had a hard time breaking? When I started using Photoshop, if I wanted to do some cloning or painting, I would duplicate the background layer instead of using a new blank layer, making huge files. After I had the fire department come over a few times...

by Peter SI was asked how I did something like this with the Torn Edges filter, so I decided to share it.
It gives a result similar to the Cutout filter but with the laters intact more adjustments can be made.
I have included a copy of the original pic for anyone to try it.
I have not refined...-
