You need to change the Layer blend mode from Normal to Lighten, and to make easier to identify, I rename this layer to core. In the layers Palette, it should look like this Now the rod should look something like this. Places the cursor at the bottom of the rod, holding the left mouse button down, drag the cursor to the top of the picture or rod, pending on which is applicable, release the mouse button. Now comes the real fun part, putting the line in for the core. You need the tick in Check as a vector, because if its not, it'll just put the line on the background, not as a separate layer. Keep ticks in Antialias, and in Create as a Vector. But I find the Point to Point line, which I personally find easier to use than the Single Line, But I'll leave that to your own preference.Īs you'll notice, I have the width set to 10, this is suitable for this picture. For the purpose of this tutorial I'll be using the Single Line. Which is on the Tool Palette at the bottom.Īs you can see there are a selection of ways to Draw the white core. Once you have the image loaded, you want to select this button The picture I'm using for this tutorial, I got from the LIA website. That's both the tutorial, and putting glows on Lightsabers whether it be in Adobe Photoshop or Jasc Paint Shop Pro. Welcome to my tutorial for adding lightsaber glows in Paint Shop Pro.
