A Work in Progress: surounding light

This guide was made for entry:
surounding light
In Contest:
light people

step 1 of 4

first i opened my image,
I used the pen tool to draw a path,
I then changed the brush to sampled tip 40px
I then changed the spacing of the brush to '0'

step 2 of 4

I then selected stroke path to create the line.
after selecting the light's layer I added outer glow and inner glow to the layer using colours from the image.
I then moved the path slightly, made the brush smaller and selected stroke patth again.

step 3 of 4

I copied the background layer and cut the person out placeing it behind the light layer, I then copied that layer too and placed it infront of the light layer and used the eraser tool to make the light look like it is going around.
finally I made the bacjground layer slightly darker so it looks like the light is lighting the person up.

step 4 of 4

my uncut image
