hi this is Marty from Blue Lightning TV

0:00:10.920,0:00:17.669
I'm going to show you how to transform a

0:00:14.070,0:00:20.580
photo into glamorous portraits by adding

0:00:17.669,0:00:23.430
a variety of sexy skin glows you often

0:00:20.580,0:00:27.029
see in fashion magazines posters and

0:00:23.430,0:00:29.460
record album covers open a photo you'd

0:00:27.029,0:00:32.580
like to use I downloaded this one from

0:00:29.460,0:00:34.769
shutterstock.com the first thing we

0:00:32.580,0:00:37.680
should do is to convert your image into

0:00:34.769,0:00:40.469
a smart object so any effects we give it

0:00:37.680,0:00:42.629
will be non-destructive click the icon

0:00:40.469,0:00:46.160
at the top right corner of the layers

0:00:42.629,0:00:49.230
panel and choose convert to smart object

0:00:46.160,0:00:51.559
I'll show you the fastest and simplest

0:00:49.230,0:00:55.050
way to give it a glamorous skin glow

0:00:51.559,0:00:59.699
make a copy of it by pressing ctrl J on

0:00:55.050,0:01:03.180
Windows or command J on a Mac go to

0:00:59.699,0:01:06.960
filter and filter gallery open the

0:01:03.180,0:01:09.030
distort folder and click diffuse glow we

0:01:06.960,0:01:10.940
won't add any graininess because we want

0:01:09.030,0:01:13.920
to keep our image as smooth as possible

0:01:10.940,0:01:17.039
the glow amount controls how bright the

0:01:13.920,0:01:18.840
glow is and the clear amount determines

0:01:17.039,0:01:22.649
how much of the image is covered by the

0:01:18.840,0:01:25.380
glow for this particular image i'll set

0:01:22.649,0:01:28.470
the glow at one and the clear amount at

0:01:25.380,0:01:31.080
six keep in mind depending on the size

0:01:28.470,0:01:33.270
resolution and characteristics of your

0:01:31.080,0:01:34.860
photo you should experiment with these

0:01:33.270,0:01:37.679
amounts until you get just the right

0:01:34.860,0:01:42.599
combination that looks good to you then

0:01:37.679,0:01:49.530
click OK click the adjustment layer icon

0:01:42.599,0:01:52.739
and choose vibrance click the clip to

0:01:49.530,0:01:55.410
layer icon which clips or restricts the

0:01:52.739,0:01:57.500
adjustment layer to effect only the one

0:01:55.410,0:02:00.179
layer beneath it in the layers panel

0:01:57.500,0:02:03.899
slide the vibrance all the way to the

0:02:00.179,0:02:06.929
right as you can see when I toggle back

0:02:03.899,0:02:09.569
and forth we now edit a soft skin glow

0:02:06.929,0:02:12.989
to our image and we did it with just one

0:02:09.569,0:02:15.000
adjustment layer and one filter now I'll

0:02:12.989,0:02:17.780
show you some other ways to achieve

0:02:15.000,0:02:19.810
beautiful glamorous effects but

0:02:17.780,0:02:22.910
this time with a bit more complexity

0:02:19.810,0:02:25.970
first let's group the last effect into

0:02:22.910,0:02:27.770
its own folder to do this shift-click on

0:02:25.970,0:02:32.170

0:02:27.770,0:02:34.790
highlight it and press ctrl or command G

0:02:32.170,0:02:37.850
click off the eyeball next to the folder

0:02:34.790,0:02:42.440
to hide it click layer 0 to make it

0:02:37.850,0:02:47.900
active and make a copy of it change the

0:02:42.440,0:02:53.000
blend mode to overlay go to filter blur

0:02:47.900,0:02:55.820
and Gaussian blur reduce the view until

0:02:53.000,0:02:58.250
you can see most of the face adjust the

0:02:55.820,0:03:01.690
radius amount so you can barely make out

0:02:58.250,0:03:05.030
the eyes nose and mouth then click OK

0:03:01.690,0:03:08.840
hide the layer and make the bottom layer

0:03:05.030,0:03:12.800
active we want to make a selection just

0:03:08.840,0:03:16.880

earlier choose sampled colors and adjust

0:03:23.480,0:03:27.769
the fuzziness until you see that most of

0:03:25.610,0:03:30.200
the skin is selected with as little of

0:03:27.769,0:03:34.030
