  • Brush size: 500px
  • Hardness: 0%
  • Opacity: 25%
  • Flow: 100%

We’re first going to light up the eyes of the sorceress. Before you proceed, it is recommended that you zoom in to your image. The recommended value is 400%. You can set this up by pressing Ctrl/Cmd + (+) or by manually inputting the desired value on the Navigator window.

See image below:

Now that the image is zoomed in, you can now accurately paint. For more instructions, refer to the image below:

Once you’re done with that, let’s now proceed to the other eye.

The result when viewed at 25%:

Create another layer; after creation name it “Glow 2”. Activate the Brush tool (B) and input the following:

  • Brush size: 500px
  • Hardness: 0%
  • Opacity: 25%
  • Flow: 100%

The result of that should be similar to the image shown below:

Create a new layer and then name it “Glow 3”. Activate the Brush tool (B) and use the following settings:

  • Brush size: 500px
  • Hardness: 0%
  • Opacity: 15%
  • Flow: 100%

Refer to the image below for more instructions:

Next, create another layer and name it “Glow 4”. Activate the Brush tool (B) and then input the following:

  • Brush size: 500px
  • Hardness: 0%
  • Opacity: 15%
  • Flow: 100%

For the final layer, we will be making the pendant on her necklace glow. Name this layer: “Glow 5”. Have your Brush tool (B) ready and then input the following settings:

  • Brush size: 10px
  • Hardness: 0%
  • Opacity: 100%
  • Flow: 100%

Before you proceed, it would be recommended to zoom at a level of 400% to be accurate. Use your brush on the region shown on the image below:

When you’re done, right click on the “Glow 5” layer and click on Blending Options. Once that is up, click on the Outer Glow tick box and click again on the Outer Glow word to bring up its menu. When the menu is up, input the following:

  • Structure: USE DEFAULT VALUES
  • Elements
  • Technique: Softer
  • Spread: 0%
  • Size: 54px
  • Quality: USE DEFAULT VALUES

The result as seen from a zoom level of 25%:

When you’re done, group these layers and name the group: “Glow on sorceress”

Step 7: Create a Vignette

In this step, we will learn how to create a vignette which will help enhance the focus on our subject. To start, go to the Menu bar and click on File > New and use the same settings we used to create our canvas. (Refer to Step 1). Take note, the background contents should be: WHITE Once it has been created, go to Filter > Distort > Lens Correction. Find the tab Vignette and use these settings:

  • Vignette amount: -100
  • Midpoint: +50

Now that that’s done drag the vignette to our canvas using the Move tool (V) and put it on top of all the layers that we’ve created, and then set the following:
