Hi!
I've been looking through other people's pictures for a while now, and I'm absolutely fascinated with the effect seen on the pic below:



I mean the "halo" or brightness around that girl... It's totally amazing, and I'd love to make my pictures look similar :)
I have two questions, one is dumb, the other might be a little smarter ;)
1. What is the technique called? Does it even have a name?
2. How to do this?
I realize you probably need some layer work, dodging/burning etc... if someone could write it down for me, like a total idiot, I'd be very grateful. Even a link to some tutorials would be cool :)

Thanks in advance, friends!

Very nice effect, specially when you can apply it to everything.

I usually use my pen tool to draw around the object then I use the neon glow under filters to achieve the glow I need.

Here is a tutorial that it might help

or you could just go to your tools and find the "burn tool" I believe. It will look like a little "hand" or a little "tack" on the left hand side of you tools table. Select the one that is for burning. Go up to change the diameter to make it as big or small as you want then start experimenting. Easy as pie!

I think you mean dodge. Big Wink
