Diffuse Glow

Just realised you can diffuse glow the shadows instead of the highlights,


in CS

open image

then image/adjustments/invert

apply diffuse glow

If you already knew, then sorry for troubling you

This is a red hot tip that was in danger of being forgotten. I came across this in Digital Photo Mag and have used it a fair bit since, it's great for adding a sinister or moody air to a picture.

I've been developing the vampire theme with Leah and used it today. Here's a couple from what I've been up to, the first with no Diffuse Glow. In the second one I've used Reverse Diffuse Glow on the background but used it straight on the foreground picture to give Leah a ghostly glow. When using Diffuse Glow, you need ot set the colour palette to the default colours of Black and White unless you want some strange funky effects.

Thanks for showing those Keith, very nice effect

Wonder, if some wing tips could be added coming up behind the shoulders - nothing to challenging - LOL

It's a great tip to have put up Dave, and I just felt maybe an example might help. I'll think on the wing tips, great idea. Bat wings.....
