 Well, everybody, welcome back to another Adobe Photoshop CC 2019 tutorial. In this one, I'm going to show you how to add a glow to any picture. Now, I'm using a stock image here that I got off pexels.com. And basically, I am going to show you how to light her up so that she's got a glow, a light to her. And I'm also going to show you how to make sure that it doesn't affect the background lights using painting. So let's just dig right into this and get her rolling. The very first step is you want to add in your image like I have done here. Now, what you got to do is you got to convert this to a smart object. And the reason why I got to do that is because we're going to be using smart filters. To convert to a smart object, simply right click on the image, just like that. Go down here and hit Convert to Smart Object. You can also do everything I do here. You can do that through the menu up at the top here. The second step is you want to go to Filter, then you want to go and Filter Gallery. Left click on Filter Gallery. And you're probably going to start off with something like this, one of these different looks. It's probably not what you're going for, but it always selects something. So I'm going to close Artistic and I'm going to go down to the one that says Diffuse Glow. Now, when I apply this, let's just see here, the original, I'm going to turn it off. And now the Diffuse Glow, it has added in the glow. So we have the glow already. This might be enough for you with the default settings. I'm not sure what you're looking for, but I'll show you here. There are three sliders that you can go and dial in a little closer. You can add graininess if you're looking for that really nighttime shot in low light conditions kind of thing. You can add in some film type grain. You can change the glow amount to like no glow. And then you'll see here off on very, very, very small amount all the way up to blow out, which obviously you don't want. So I'm going to dial it into about 12. Now let's go a little higher here because I'm going to show you the effect. And finally, you can change clear amount. So if you go down to a low amount, again, this has that washed out look. Probably not what you're going for, but again, it's good to know that it's there. And then you can go in for a nice hard look, which is actually not all that much different than what we're showing, but I'm going to go with a look of 15, say. This is a little more than I would probably go with normally, but again, we're going to show you the technique. Now I'm going to hit on OK. And that little noise in the background, that's my dog just whining. Anyway, so there we go. So there we go. We've added in a glow. Now this isn't exactly what we want. And the reason why is you're going to see the in the background here, the lights, they're a little bit too bright. We want the glow on the girl and on her skin, but we don't want that. So what you want to do is you want to left click on this smart filter. You're going to see here that I have selected this rectangle. Now the next step is you want to make sure that you have black and white as your default foreground and background. So if it's a different color, just hit D on the keyboard and it will default to the original colors. The next and final step here is I'm going to select this brush. So hit the B for the brush tool and boom, I've got my brush here. And now painting with black. So black is the foreground here. If you paint with black and I'm going to set my opacity to 100%, I am going to go ahead in and reduce this light here. So watch what I do. There you go. So using black as a paint, I'm basically creating a mask or I'm masking out these call this bright glow that was applied to the whole image. I'm taking it out of the lighting in the background. So again, guys, that's how you do it. I'm going to show you the original image. Oops, there we go. So original smart filters applied. Oh, sorry, just press the button there and with the mask and there you go guys. That's how you do it. Hope you enjoyed this tutorial. I've got a lot more stuff coming up. Talk to you soon.
