Ok so I really like this girl and I wanted to take a picture of her and make her have a starburst glow type thing.

How the heck do I perfectly outline her and how do I do a starburst glow?


Thanks and wish me luck with her.

You need to take the image, and using the polygonal lasoo tool, take time selecting round her body, and then either cut it, into a new transparent image, where it will be just her glowing, or cut her, and then create a new layer, and paste on that new layer, and then go to blendingoptions, and select either outer glow, or stroke, or both

You want her to love you for ever. try this but be careful it's powerful stuff..lol

Duplicate the picture layer (ctrl+J) add a Gaussian Blur (enough to still see the subject) change layer mode to "screen". Then go to the Layer style blend option down to the Blend if.
Press alt and grab the black triangle of the "this layer" scale. Move the right side of the triangle to around 190, then move the left side of the triangle to 90. (These are just sample numbers play with it, all pictures are dif.)
Press ok...A nice soft sur-real glow...

Experiment with all setttings from blur to layer mode etc..but thats the idea.

If you want to make a perfect outline of a girl and make her glow I would first suggest you learn alpha channels and how to manlipute them to do what YOU want. The lasso tool works good, but when it comes to things like hair you can not do it because it is fine and teedious to use the lasso tool. ILM used alpha channels in Photoshop in "Star Wars" to cut people out you know.

Make sure the file you are working on is LARGE like 2 MB OR HIGHER.
