HOW DID YOU GOT THE SMUGDE TOOL?

[Sameruitiger]

OK tutorial but whats the song called?

[DannnLixi]

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A MAC, get a PC with twice the power for half the price, MAC = Overpriced posh boy products.

[SadisticReviews]

@DannnLixi Amen to that. I've used many many macs and I still prefer PC. I've used more macs than PCs and I still prefer PC.

[MrKilla39]

BTW TO THE FAGS that don't like Mac.

Mac has total security,you can't enter a Mac without another Mac.

Windows can't enter Mac's security

And people dont buy Macs because they don't know how to work with it.

[DannnLixi]

@MrKilla39 Wow you have no clue what your on about do you? i can't even be botherd to argue with you, but let me just inform you that MAC has the worst security, it goes Linux > Windows > MAC for security, yes there arnt many virus for them, thats because there is less software in general, but if you was using a MAC, and someone targeted you for a persific hack then it would be way easyier than breaking into a windows or a Linux machine, and im not bigging up windows there security is shit aswel

[MrKilla39]

but still nice.

[MrKilla39]

i can do better than that shit.

[Chino7762]

...just remember to calibrate your monitors kids...lol..and you ll be fine

[Chino7762]

i use ACER desktop..but MACs are amazing. you dont need one though, as much as people tell you you do. i went from a mac to my pc and CS5(hacked) works amazing. i dont even have that much memory and i have no lag. computer techolog dosnt suck ... lol . do you like the color red or do you like the color blue...who cares.

[pauljohn991]

It's not work to me.. I dont know why  i create a layer 2 right then i go to Render They say ( could not complete the lens flare the selected area is empty.. what i should i do? HELP! Im so Confused >.<

[MrAbhia]

@pauljohn991 - it is because u hav left the layer empty...jst fill the layer with black n then apply the lens flare effect....then change the blending mode to multiply..bt in this case there is no need to change it to multiply...this way it will work out..:-)

[blackzt3r]

Hey dude this is just a question but could you maybe make a video on how to make lines glow ? like if i had a simple picture with a few lines on how 2 make them glow ??

[coolmonkey934]

Hello,nice tutorial the effect is pretty cool but I kinda got stuck because I'm really new to photoshop and I'm still getting my head around it,I cant use filters on my second layer it says "could not complete the lens flare command because the selected area is empty" what do I do? please help.

[nivlemxarmaje]

where is the blending mode f0und?

[NoWay985]

@nivlemxarmaje in the layers panel on the right.by default it is set to normal.you can change it from the dropdown menu

[Radditzu]

Dude that was awesome, thank you for teaching me that. Learn something new everyday. : )

[OvrZealousis]

I've been trying to get this to work for months but I just can't get it right. Like YamiChan was asking, I wanted to have the lens flare without the black background so it could look like I'm holding a ball of energy in a picture. I filled the two layers with black, added the lens flare to the top layer, deleted the bottom black layer, and switched the top layer to screen but nothing happend T.T could you help me?

[SiLeNtWaLrUs666]

i cant choose lens flare its not choosable its on the screen but i cant click it

[slicemydice]

nice work

[TorresDesignS]

bad

[SiickProductionszz]

I Dont have a Smude tool ?? im using PS CS4 ..

[tvfxqLOVEable]

@SiickProductionszz right click on the blur tool which looks like a tear drop, then you'll see the smudge dool, the one with the hand w/ gloves then click it. There you have your smudge tool. You can change it everytime ^^ I'm also using CS4.

[vivi131410]

Thanks ! I like it !

[GAMEERBOY617]

these same steps can be used in adobe PS CS4?

[alexisfair]

what program did you use to record your movements on the computer to make this video?

[GraphiMax]

Hello Everyone...

I've got a lot of messages asking the audio track of this video. First of all, the audio playing now, is not the original audio that I added to the video during the editing section. Some months after I uploaded the video, YouTube deleted the audio of this video due to the fact that it was copyrighted. Then, I wanted to add another audio on the video without deleting and uploadng it again, so I used Youtube's AudioSnap function, and I really don't remember the name of the song.

[cukalokaquenemloko]

@GraphiMax  the song is 2 H.E.R by musicshake

[omoore98]

hot

[lilsilly1994]

dOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT SONG THIS IS?

[caltake1]

[vampyren13]

[vampyren13]

[tvfxqLOVEable]

@vampyren13 your welcome glad I could help ^^

[mislam13]

[down0JJLin]

@mislam13 you can select the location at the preview window : )

[mislam13]

ohhhh, thank you very much.

[colorjump]

Thnxz vro you really helped me...

P.S. Does anyone know the name of the song thats playing

[barh00mo]

WOW DUDE THIS IS SOOOO AWSOME

[aguedoman]

should've sped up the smudging part

nice video anyway, got me a new idea

[registernoob]

tnx !!! its very goooood :D nice graphic !

[osfpzago]

great tutorial....5/5 stars....

guys i want to buy pc and i sitll cant decide what....i mean whats better windows 7 or mac os x????

[TheSketchar]

@osfpzago

well gaming wise, windows wins. I have windows 7, unlike vista, it aint a fail, microsoft fixed the problems of vista and added so actual useful stuff. Macs are more for the people that have to follow something, like an ipod, pretty much apple's marketing stragety.

[Liam2010]

OSX no question

[LSG2oo9]

@osfpzago MAC !!!!

[mislam13]

that actually depends on what type of person you are. if you like apple more than windows go for the mac os x, and vice versa windows 7.

[dalmoiGassie]

What is the name of the song?

[TheEBSCO]

I cant add lens flare ( Im using photoshop cs4)

[smiley4all95]

Hey , can you please tell me the name of the song? it's awesome and i would like to add it to my ambiental collection :)

[Silgrant]

It says it at the end of the video.

[cetko13]

he means the new one, as it's been copyrighted

[thathirdeye]

Not a bad effect, I don't like the way the lens flair leaves those little fine lines in the effect. So rather then use a lens flair, I just made an orb. took twice as long but it looks much smother.

Using a mouse to smudge is a pain in the arse. but using a Bamboo pen tablet, it's soooo must better. 100% better then using a mouse for anything and everything.

[xEliteTutorialsXx]

try using a laptop thing watever its called

[thathirdeye]

yea, I'm on a laptop, the touch pad on a laptop is the most useless thing I have ever come across.. that's why I got a Bamboo Pen Pad. Plus a computer mouse is not shaped for the hand.. where as a Pen fits comfortably...

[jamacaman14]

What is the name of the audio playing? Since it was changed. I like the change sounds much better.

[kurt24100]

i cant make it good like that when i smudge, it doesn't turn out anything like that

[Iknowbetterthanthat]

Why does this tutorial lasts seven and a half minutes?!

You could do this in two man..

[swimmer4ever200687]

plz i need to ask a question , and any body plz reply on me ,

i can make any glowing object ok , but how can i make it like animated , as its being drawn .

i mean as if i am making a signature and its written in a gif image .

[TiagoMLF22]

Don't think you can make GIFs with photoshop (not 100% sure thought).

[sephyiroth]

@TiagoMLF22 You Can..i make em all the time..but they not as Clear as those Video Gifs..people have..

[TiagoMLF22]

Oh ok thanks, I had no idea as I use a video program to make my Gifs =P

But I guess photoshop would be easier if you want to make a Gif out of pictures and not a video...

[CHILANGITO2]

on ur layer pallet click on animation

and then u got to turn on and off layer also. putting transaction and make layers on ur layers pallet it seem complicated but is easy the save for web and and save it as a GIF

hope my explanation help

[wcdav84]

smudge a lens flare. tutorial over. to be fair, i never thought to do it. best wishes.

[ExordiuMProductions]

tnx..you helped so much..was looking for this a for a long time..

[JuannyBear]

Thanks, this was a neat Idea :]

[liquidpaperful]

it looks like an octopus with a bright head

[babyxwishes]

that is cool ive bee wondering how to do that thx dude

[Mirzel92]

could you make a tutorial, where you use a picture of a person, so it is in the right side and makeing that kind of glow so it shines into the face.... only the head and the left side of the head would be visble...

[sladev2]

If I want two lens flares with different colors, how would I do it and see both with their lights affecting each other?

[foullump]

Thank you so much! Great tutorial! Good effect! It's also cool if you add a gaussian blur to your text!

[Yingyang]

what if you don't have color balance

[liquidpaperful]

then get gimp. cause photoshop SUCKS!!!. Gimp has all the same stuff and lots more!!!.

[LondonForever75]

GIMP has lots more? Lmfao - probably the fact that you don't have a clue how to use PS.

GIMP is a poor very distant second.

[Robdahelpa]

gimp is nice cause its free but photoshop IS WAY BETTER ,have you ever seen a designer use gimp?Photographer?

[CHILANGITO2]

GIMP SUCKS is for people that cant afford Photoshop lol

[GuyWhoWearsShirt]

Its true, thats why I use GIMP lol

[SpArKyz1001]

nobody buys photoshop hack it its not that hard

[CHILANGITO2]

True that... i got CS3 portable version hacked..and it works fine... But only if my PC had more memory ill get the CS4... cant wait till i get my MAC.

[dodkak]

@CHILANGITO2

mac sucks

[DHammerr]

[YamiChan31]

hmm, i was wondering , how can you delete the black background??so that the one left is the glowing thing?

[GraphiMax]

Just delete the background layer and change the layer blending mode of the glow-layer to "Screen"

[mrogon]

You can find it together with blur tool and sharpen tool on the tools panel. Just hold the left button and you'll find it.

[xJOSEGONZALEZx]

What brush are you using

becouse my brushes are all solid like a circle,

they dont end at a point

[Impement01]

warp tool

[Impement01]

smudge tool*

[xJOSEGONZALEZx]

Thanks Buddy

[radiozoto2006]

both of them, warp (from Filter > Liquefy) and smudge, could be of use...

[GraffitiChicoOne]

great tutorial i think!

thanks

[Ezalox]

Great tutorial. :D

[WFArmstrong]

does anyone know how to make the long blue and purple flares that go across the whole screen like in TRANSFORMERS and in PUNCH DRUNK LOVE - and a whole lot of movies and music videos?

[LondonForever75]

Yep, please message me and I will explain. Too long for this text reply box im afraid.

[eamesgoren]

Great Tutorial!! Very cool effect!!

[allie7794]

you can also simply liquify the image and then pull it around for added affect =]

[JoeSatrianii]

toooo cheap <_<

[SomeOne247]

Nice Fast easy great tutorial Never Knew about this effect :) 5****'s Subscribed & Rated 5 :D

[PlanetSheep]

thx man! this is a cool effect! 5/5

[policemofo]

LOL

HAHAHHA

[redbluefan]

when i try this it says cant do lens flare coz u dont have enough ram memory? :S

[GraphiMax]

It must be because your RAM memory is 256MB or under

[slash3rr]

haha you can buy 2gb for 30euros! really cheap if it would be 256MB

[JDznz]

thanks

[CITGProductions]

thanks. When I used the smudge tool, I smudged it to make it look like a ball from a roman candle shooting off or a comet. and then duplicated it a lot to make "lightning". Then duplicated that a lot to make different colors. it now looks very cool, like energy.
