My first official Photoshop tutorial, highlighting an extremely fast and simple way to isolate and extract light
(and thereby darks) into their own layer.
For your reading convenience, this tut has been sized to widescreen wallpaper dimensions, in the
hopes that making it your desktop wallpaper will be easier to reference while working in photoshop.
You may want to temporarily hide your taskbar while using it this way, though, as I needed every pixel of space
I could get to makes this completely comprehensive.

While this small instruction can be done by even beginners, I recommend you at very least understand
the Layers system before attempting.

Pack Contains:
  • Tutorial: Multiple resolutions of the Tutorial seen above, sized in: 1920x1200, 1680x1050, 1440x900, & 1280x800.

  • PSD File: One PSD file, containing a light sample for use as reference to this tut, and as a free resource for you in any other work you might choose to include it in.
    (PLEASE CREDIT ME IF YOU USE THIS PSD IN YOUR ORIGINAL ARTWORK!)

  • ReadMe: My standard ReadMe file, modified to include Tutorials in my copyright agreement. This applies to you anytime you download my art.

    Thank you to ^FallenRox for testing this tut before its release.
    Light-source was created by me in Apophysis, and can be recognized in several of my works, including: Revolver, VAPORise, and Warsight Flux, all of which were created using this techniques.

    Finished in PhotoshopCS3ext.
