Neon Light Effect Photoshop Tutorial

In today's Photoshop tutorial I'm going to show you how to create a vibrant visual effect by adding neon lights to a photo. This popular art style often incorporates simple shapes or text for the neon lights, which are illuminated in bright colours. I'll explain how to use Photoshop to draw a custom shape and give it a vibrant glow with the help of Photoshop's Layer Style options, then we'll use a clever technique to apply a colourful ambience to the original photo as if it is being illuminated by the new light source. As a finishing touch, we'll also add some smoke and particle effects to create a neat cyberpunk art piece with a futuristic vaporwave style.

If you want to create work like this and don't know where to start, I would suggest an ebook/tutorial on graphic design and Photoshop, 'Design Evolution: Unlocking Adobe Photoshop's Secrets.' It helped me tremendously.

Quick, to the point, and I love that you explain every step and why you're doing it... master of masterclasses, mr spoon

[itslegendry]

remember people: your photo will look this good only if the lighting is perfect in the original photo

[maryu]

so perfect and straightforward! I love that you add text for the described shortcuts and that you quickly will say "why" something is being done ex: "this will cancel out the color reflection from your shadows for a better color spectrum" brilliant!

Out of all the tutorials I've seen on adding glow, this is by far the best one. Thank you so much

Chris, I learned some neat tricks in that one. The "blend if" specifically. I would love to for you to also add tips/tricks/techniques that make the workflow less destructive (sticking to smart objects, etc.). Really neat non the less.

Just in case someone stumbles upon this; I am a GIMP user, and I found this helpful as well. Although they don't have the same QOL tools, the skills are transferable. Thank you, Spoon Graphics for this video.
