› › HOW TO

Step 22: Add a new layer called “Sparkles” at

the top of the layer stack. Grab the Brush tool

and open the Brush panel by pressing F5. Start

with the Soft Round tip. Reduce the Size to 5 px

(30 px if using the full-resolution image), increase

the Hardness to 64%, and then set the Spacing

to 350%. Engage the Shape Dynamics and set

the Size Jitter to 70%. Engage the Scattering,

check the Both Axes option, and set the Scatter

amount to 800%. Hold

down the Option (PC:

Alt) key to temporarily

switch the Brush tool

to the Eyedropper, and

click to sample a bright-

green color from the

wings. Use the Brush to

softly paint in sparkles

along the wings. If the

specks seem too bright,

reduce the layer Opacity

as needed.
