How Can I Make Myself Glow in a Picture?

With social networking sites such as MySpace, Twitter and Facebook ruling the Internet, profile pictures are becoming increasingly common. In order to make yours stand out from the crowd, you'll need to add something to it. One way to do this is with something called a glow effect. This effect is reminiscent of the analog cameras used before digital cameras became so popular. With Photoshop software and a little know-how, you too can make your picture glow.

Instructions

1

Open Photoshop.

2

Click "File," "Open." Double-click the image that you want to make glow. This will load the picture into Photoshop.

3

Click the "Selector" tool (it's a square made from dashes). Right-click the picture that you just opened and select "Duplicate Layer." Click the "OK" button when a pop-up dialog box appears, notifying you that you're creating a layer. The bottom-right corner of your screen should now have "Layer 1" and "Layer 1 Copy" displayed under the "Layers" tab.

4

Click "Filter" from the toolbar menu. Select "Blur," "Guassian Blur." The radius will be set to 1.5 by default. Change this setting by sliding the arrow over until your picture becomes blurred, but the shapes of the figures in the picture still maintain their basic form.

5

Navigate to the "Layers" tab in the bottom-right corner of the Photoshop window. Touch the "Layer 1 Copy" icon to highlight it. Click the downward arrow button that says "Normal." Select "Overlay" from the drop-down menu options. Your picture should now have a glow effect to it. Compare it with the original photo to see the difference.
