Photoshop draws fantastic light effects-PS tutorial

In this tutorial, I will show you how to use images, some 2D elements and 3D rendering to create a real fluid effect. You can use it in other digital art creations. This tutorial mainly uses Photoshop to design fantastic and colorful artistic light backgrounds. in this tutorial, I will tell you how to use images, some 2D elements and 3D rendering are used to create a real fluid effect. You can use it in other digital art creations. The background of the screen is some of the lines that I painted a few days ago. Through this tutorial, you will be able to improve your technology. you can also try to use these techniques in Project production.
Per Gustafsson tells you how to use 3D, 2D, and photo elements to draw a beautiful image.


01 create a new document in PS. create a gradient light in the layer first. This will make all the above layer elements clear, no matter what layer effects you use. By adding such a halo effect to the stage, you can use a paint brush or a circular tool to draw one and then sharpen the edges.

02 now drag an image of ink into the water. If you want to make the image more numeric, you can press ctrl + l to adjust the color order. If you are exposed too much, you can adjust the black and white values, because the image will be used as a shading.

03 copy the layer and set the blending mode to soft or stacked. Adjust the transparency and position, but do not merge them. Otherwise, you will lose the mixed effect you have used.

04 add some light effects to a new layer, you can draw with a brush and blur it. Use a distorted ripple filter to add motion.

05 add a color layer, the mixed style is color, and the transparency is 80%. Next, copy the layer we made in step 4 and change the blending mode to simple color or strong light to make the luminous effect. Of course, if the effect is not good, you can set the brightness.

06 create a new one above all layers. Use the pen tool to depict the path, and use blue to create the comparison and attention of the screen. You can draw a circle based on the dynamic trend of the screen to help you give the screen a visual center. If you want to add other elements in the future, this layer can also be used as a reference layer.

07 copy the layer created in the previous step and add some ripple and blur (filter, twist, ripple ). Then they are combined to add the dynamic blur effect, which makes it easy to make the dynamic effect. You can try different effects through the history panel.

08 copy the layer and adjust the screen using the conversion tool. Change the order and transparency of layers to increase the sense of opacity. You can also zoom in or out, or change the mixed style to create a variety of images.

09 here, I imported a simple 3D rendering transparent image. First, change to a smaller value, then place it at the top of the layer, and add the Gaussian blur filter to make it look like a perspective.

10. the dynamic blur filter can create true blur effects. Copy a small portion of the white line and add a dynamic blur filter. Copy them again, and then add the shear filter in the twist. After constantly trying, you can get a very good dynamic effect.

11 next, I used a common method to give a blurred layer a hybrid mode of "strong light", and then lower the transparency. In this way, we can give the image a general color and a sense of retro camera. If you do this when it is about to be completed, the effect is better.

12 If you think the elements in the screen are too messy. You can select some layers with light and copy them. Copy them into a layer, and then change the new layer ctrl + t. It is still transformed according to the circular area and the central area of the visual area. You can try to arrange your layers, hide some elements, and then contrast other elements.

13 then I added some circles to break the chaos. This is simple. you can add a LOGO on a gorgeous background.

14. Adjust your color scheme to make the screen harmonious. here I use a blue gradient. at the top of all layers, the mixed mode is changed to soft light to reduce transparency. You can copy a few more LOGO images to reflect a variety of images. Finally, enter the LOGO text.

15 The last step is to merge all layers, and then adjust the lower color and saturation to ensure the complete and unified color of the screen.
