CREATIVE EFFECTS
S
ome Photoshop ‘special effects’ can look a little
generic, particularly if, like filters, they’re simply
slapped on top of an image. One way to make
effects stand out from the crowd is to have them
interact with the figures or objects in your image, like these
fantastic glowing lines.
Curved lines aren’t the easiest of shapes to make.
Unfortunately, Photoshop Elements lacks the Pen tool found
in its bigger brother Photoshop CC, so to get the curling,tapered line we’ll need to use a combination of tools and
filters, then to make the line glow we’ll add a Layer Style
effect. For simplicity, we’ll make the lines against a plain
background. Once we have a couple of different lines, we can
begin adding them to the portrait. We won’t need to make
every line from scratch, because we can build up the effect by
copying the same line again and again, then use Transform
controls to skew them into a variety of shapes that wrap
around the dancing figure.Create a neon light effect
