I also want to see if we can get a version of our angel symbol with that effect. Lol, looks like you've got some requests odj!

Hows that ada? I added a blue glow to the side of his face and hand for the saber and hologram.

So how do you do it?

[Tbone]

This is an example of how it might be implemented on the site. This could replace the menu image when you hit "home" (I think members see it...I know guests do).

Hey unforgiven, I really liked your Force Unleashed picture so I edited it a little to make a sig. I wouldn't feel comfortable using it though unless it was ok with you since you did the initial work. Can I steal your thing for a new sig?



I think I'm going to go back and crop it a bit since I don't really like how tall it is.

That's awesome. Can you remove the blue from the face? The saber I put with him is white. Otherwise that's amazing

[odj]

So how do you do it?

Um you looking for step-by-step instructions or just a general idea? Its just a white background with increase of the exposure of the image some glow around the outside to simulate the white background bleeding in, a bit of smoothing on the image and a splash of colour here and there.

That lightsaber with the green smoke is so sick

Here's my first attempt:

Diathim


The two things I'm having trouble with are getting a nice, rich black and white and then re-adding the color back in.

Right I'm adding color back by coloring a new layer and making the opacity very slight.

I'm switching to B&W by using Images>Adjustments>Black and White and trying to mess with it the best I can.

@Ghis - Sure you can use it. I'm still figuring out what my sig should be. At the moment I'm thinking this:



lol.

I put together a recording on how I do it in Photoshop so people can see and replicate if they want to...

Note: In the most recent version of Photoshop, to make the color layer, you need to go to "Blending options..." by right clicking the layer, and then change the option from "Normal" to "Color"!   -Tbone

I have the latest version? O_O - odj

WOW, great demo dude! Thanks so much!!! So much better and easier than the way I was trying. Heh. Gonna have to try this method for myself.
