Now I use a combination of different stock images to complete the effect. You can choose whatever bokeh images you want. If you are brushes just sample the color of the type you are applying the effect to. If you are using flat bokeh images, change the hue with the Hue/ Saturation adjustment option.



Keep adding different layers and changing their colors to get a better result.
Step 10
For the final step we are going to create some Adjustment layers to enhance the look of the composition. Go to menu Layer>New Adjustment layer>Hue/Saturation and increase the Saturation to make the colors look more alive.

Under that Adjustment layer, now create a “Brightness and Contrast” adjustment layer and use the setting above:

Finally under that layer create a “Levels” Adjustment layer to bring the whole composition together.

I’m on Photoshop CC 2014 and I cannot for the life of me get the same effect that Step 2 is telling me I should be getting. Any advice?
-
wow ….all Photoshop Tutorials are very nice …….

Most instructions were not given clearly, pen tool behaved in a very different way from what you barely explained, and the font you are using called “Tetra” is not in photoshop CS6 or CC.

Don’t know if it’s an actual problem or if i’m just doing something wrong, but I can’t figure out how to warp the light effects.
The program swears that there aren’t any pixels in the selection, and by the time i finally get the selection to warp, it doesn’t warp the glow of the light effect so there’s just an eclipse shadow left behind.Help?
