-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My first official Photoshop tutorial, highlighting an extremely fast and simple way to isolate and extract light
(and thereby darks) into their own layer.
For your reading convenience, this tut has been sized to widescreen wallpaper dimensions, in the
hopes that making it your desktop wallpaper will be easier to reference while working in photoshop.
You may want to temporarily hide your taskbar while using it this way, though, as I needed every pixel of space
I could get to makes this completely comprehensive.
While this small instruction can be done by even beginners, I recommend you at very least understand
the Layers system before attempting.
Pack Contains:
(PLEASE CREDIT ME IF YOU USE THIS PSD IN YOUR ORIGINAL ARTWORK!)

PhotoshopCS3 Icon made by ~julyDrawed , and more credit to them for the divider boxes as well, which were inspired by their work.
Thank you to ^FallenRox for testing this tut before its release.
Light-source was created by me in Apophysis, and can be recognized in several of my works, including: Revolver , VAPORise , and Warsight Flux , all of which were created using this techniques.
Finished in PhotoshopCS3ext.

Its nice - but the reflections of "step" buttons arent right. You have used the reflection for the Ps buttons for them...

JesseLax In reply to nulldev07 [2008-03-03 18:46:40 +0000 UTC]

What's wrong with that?

I am sorry... I did not intended to hurt your feelings... but I was expecting that the "reflections" should look like objects of which they are the reflections.

My feelings aren't hurt at all, please don't worry!
I'm just too silly for m own good. I apologize if it came off wrong, and I do promise all of my words were meant in good fun as much as they were my explanation.

Thanks for your work, AHiL! I hope to read it carefully one day ... if I only would have the same amount of spare time as wishes for improving my skills with PS....! lol

You're so welcome!!
It's really an easy tut, and once you do it a couple times the whole process takes all of 5 seconds.
If you're short on time, just do the three steps really fast to see how it works, and then come back later and read the extra info. that stuff is just there to give you a better idea of how to utilize the technique in different styles of art.

Thanks for the "extra" explanation... you keep me motivated, Jesse! I guess you know the wording "it's only a matter of priorities" ... lol. I will give it a try on the weekend and see how it works... and will come back to learn more.
Take care

We all have to start from somewhere, here, and you've got good beginning to yours! It's always fun building up your gallery, I think. I loved it when I first was doing mine.
And optimism is great!!
Talk to you soon.
