We will use this non-lightened image as a example: Notice how the stock has one eye shut, this is perfect for a lighting effect, because it makes the scene look more natural. First make a new layer (make sure it's at the top of everything excluding the border), and select the lasso tool. Set the feather on 1 px. Make a selection like this: Then right click and select "feather", make the feather 20 pixels. Now select a 60px soft round brush, on the color white and brush over the selection and you should get something like this: Now unselect the layer and set the layer to about 60% opacity, or whatever looks right. This should create a beautiful light source, which is very simple to make aswell. Here is my end result after a few effects etc. ----- If you enjoyed this tutorial - Please register, it only takes a minute. (maybe less) =P
