Sparkling Hot Girl in PhotoshopListThumbs

Sparkling Hot Girl in Photoshop

February 22, 2008

I’ve seen some very nice images mixing photos with light effects and sparks. If you go to flickr in those Photoshop and Graphic Design groups you will see images with this effect. There’s a designer, I think he's Brazilian, who has some amazing designs using this style, his name is Leandro Demetrius and it’s really worth checking his work out.

Anyway, in this tutorial I will show you how to create an image using this technique. It basically mixes some techniques from tutorials like Magic Lighting Effect, Amazing Photoshop light effect in 10 Steps, and the latest Create the MSNBC header effect.

Step 1

Create a new document, mine is 800x600 pixels. After that double click on the background layer to open the Layer Style dialog box and add a Gradient Overaly. Select Radial for the Style and use a dark red to black for the colors

Step 2

Select a nice photo, in my case an amazingly hot girl from the 30 Color and Pattern Inspiration Bikinis post. Select the Pen Tool (P) and start creating a path with the shape of the woman. Later we will convert this path to selection to mask the girl.

Step 3

After you create a path with the shape of the woman, go to the Path palette, right next to the Layer Palette. You will see the path with the girl’s shape. Click on the dotted circle icon at the bottom of the box to create a selection from the path.

Step 4

Back to the Layer Palette, select the girl’s layer and then go to Selection>Refine Edge. This command will allow us to adjust the selection in real time with some nice settings like feather, smooth, contras, and others. Make some tests with a black background. When you have a good selection click ok. After that go to Layer>Layer Mask>Reveal Selection.

Step 5

Lets increase the contrast of our girl, go to Image>Settings>Brightness/Contrast. After that reduce the layer like the image below. Then add a bit of noise. Filter>Noise>Add Noise.

Step 6

Group the girl layer so it will be inside a folder on the Layer Palette. Select the Elliptical Marquee Tool (M), set the feather option to 30px and create a elliptical selection like the image below. Now select the Folder instead of the girl’s layer and after that go again to Layer>Layer Mask>Reveal Selection. We will add the mask to the folder and everything inside the folder.

Step 7

Double click on the girl’s layer to open the Layer Style box. Select Outer Glow. For the Blend Mode use Color Dodge and for the size set 35px. After that Duplicate this layer and go to Filter>Blur>Motion Blur. Use 43º for the Angle and 155 for distance. Make sure that the blurry layer is behind the normal layer.

Step 8

Create a layer, not inside the folder anymore. This layer has to be behind the girl. Then go to Filter>Render>Clouds. Change the Blend Mode to Color Dodge.

Step 9

Create another layer, behind the clouds’ layer. Now go to Filter>Render>Fibers... Use 13 for the variance and 4 for the Strength. After lets add another filter, this time Motion Blur, go to Filter>Blur>Motion Blur. The angle will 90º and for the distance use more than 300px like the image below.

Step 10

First rotate the layer. Then select Lasso Tool (L) set 30px for the feather and create a selection like I did. Then one more time go to Layer>Layer Mask>Reveal Selection. After that double click the layer to open the Layer Style box. In the Layer Style’s first screen set the Fill Opacity to 60%, then add a Gradient Overlay, use the rainbow colors.

Step 11

Here it’s all about brushes. But first create a new Folder in the Layer Palette and set the Blend Mode to Color Dodge. After that create the layers you want to be light inside of this folder and using white color. You can even add some different shapes and apply gaussian blur to create those rays of light.

Conclusion

This is one of those designs that looks a bit complicated when we see it at first. But when you start working on it, it turns out to be much easier than we thought. You can add different light colors, more or less sparks, or even explode some parts of her body. Well that’s another tutorial I will write about.

"Step 3

I can't find anywhere Path palette section OR Layer Palette. Where are those? Please help! :( I've looked everywhere but can't find them. :(

I'm using PS cs3.

Thank you if someone helps me out! It would really be appreciated! :)

Anonymous01/19/2010

i really enjoyed this tutorial, however, i can't get my brushes to do the beautiful things everyone else has figured out. I tried creating a new layer, and painting on that, but then it's on top of the image and looks awful. I can't figure out for the life of me what i'm doing wrong. If anyone could please help me figure it out, i'd really appreciate it.

Pharoah Iz Me05/24/2009

Here's my contribution.
This is a very easy tutorial to follow.
It came out way better than I thought it would.

Photoshop CS4 was used.

Anonymous05/22/2009

i believed this is a CS3 version. and for the brush settings, just check history palette and beside that you can find the brush, clone source, character, paragraph and layer composition menus. just click on the brush menu and you'll find the setting preferences on this tutorial.

nice work. very clever use of Pen tool and rendering effects

Blah05/18/2009

I'm stuck on Step 10. What layer do you have to be on for the lasso tool? What layer do you have to be on for the rainbow effect? I can't get the image to change from the rotated white fibers image to the rainbow effect image.

Scott gigedy04/05/2009

AWESOME! Great Tutorial! Came out Great!

Step 11: Make sure you switch the radial blend mode to "MULTIPLY"

To NOOBS: Step 10 Rotate the layer using free transform (ctrl + t on a PC) then grab a corner and rotate it, hit enter when done.

And they don't have "Refine Selection" on CS2 or lower... but a lower feather number should do the trick.

Hello abduzeedo, I like your tuts and I just got my first Photoshop CS3 and so when I am trying to create a new document and then "double click on background layer to open layer style" I have been trying to figure out how in the world to do that! When I did that, it just tell me to create a new layer first then do Layer style. I can't just click on background layer to open layer style because it is already "locked" :/ I am a newbie with this Photoshop and every photoshop tut sites are confusing me!

Plario02/27/2009

Hi! Great tutorial, but I do not understand your last passage (step 11). Could you please be more specifically about "new folder" and how to use the brushes?
I'm not a noob about PS, and I try in different ways to reproduce your results, without satisfaction.

I hope in your answer. Greetings!

I can't get past step 8 I got the clouds but when I go to layer style and change the color blend to color dodge it doesn't have the same outcome as yours. It just turns my clouds blue can someone please tell me what i'm doing wrong. Im so envious of everyones outcome :(

Anonymous12/19/2008

I have problems to understand the individual processes, because my English isnt good enough for this.
there is not a possibility somehow the procedures easier to explain?
I have the most problems at Step 6 should be there to create a new layer? because at STEP 7 dont comes the effect like your.

i hope you can understand my english :D

Anonymous12/16/2008

For those of you stuck at Step 9 with the Fibers error this is what you need to do since it was left out of the tut. You need to create a new layer and fill it with white. The error is coming up because there is nothing to render on a transparent image. So here is how the step should go create new layer (ctrl+shit+n) then fill it with white. Then go to Filter>Render>Fibers. Hope this helps!!!

jamienev12/14/2008

I don't understand what you mean by "reduce the layer" in step 5...

immortalben

10/27/2008

Immortal read step 5 again,I think he means reduce the opacity ie make it more "see through" find this at the top left of your layer pallette

jamienev12/14/2008

Hi all again I have been reading these posts and I will try to answer as many as possile.
michael 13/3/08 Abduzeedo do you add a color to the brush?

Because when i use it on the white layer, the brush strokes don't appear.

Self explanatory really,if you paint white on white do you think you'll see it? Me neither use a colour!

Anonymous 27/2/08

Hey great tutorial ^^

I was doing it and it was goin along great until I got to Step 9; When I go into Filter>Render and I don't seem to have a 'Fibers'
I don't know why... Urgh!

YOU HAVE TO USE CS3. If you are using CS3 you need to fill the layer with a colour. Photoshop can not do much with a blank layer as there is nothing there.

Daniel 18/08/08

hi

i just started with photoshop cs 3 and i dont know how i can make step 2

can anyone help me please?

When you want any photo to edit off the web you need to right click your mouse and choose Save as... and please remember where the pic has been saved to.When you open Photoshop choose open,select your pic and it will appear in Photoshop (normally on a locked layer,see padlock),duplicate the layer to make it editable.

I think the steps with the cloud up to the point where its blended in with the rainbow effects are a bit unclear.
Perhaps because you are a professional you may not have realised that you missed a few basic instructions. :-)

Or... maybe I just need to read again.

Thanks for the tutorial

if i wanted to put this on a differnet background with out loosing all the layer blending options how would i go about doing it?
Also is there a posibility that you could do a really quick tutorial on variations of the brushes as i have had some problems getting some different charecteristics into the burshes (The splattered glowing dots kind off thing).

Brilliant tutorial, i teach myself everything, from tutorials, and have become a bit of an advanced just from excellent tutorials like this one they really have helped me get good at photoshopping so much =D

Thanks a lot, Sam.
