    Achieve Wave Distortion light effect with less white.

    Wow! Thank you IamSam. I didn't even think to stretch a row of white dots and work from there. Assumed the wave distortion method was the only way to do this. It looks great, thanks again for your input!

    Achieve Wave Distortion light effect with less white.

    Hello, I'm trying to achieve a light effect using gradients and the Wave Distortion filter to achieve something like the following: However, I can't seem to figure how to get this effect. I seem to keep ending up with something that is too white, and the color is too washed out: Could...

    Is it possible to blend light effects with separate layers?

    Thanks for the reply IamSam! Please note that the above images were only examples I put up to illustrate my question. I have attached an original, but its not "the" original (which I didn't save). The outcomes should be the same regardless (color dodge brush with white color applied on the...

    Is it possible to blend light effects with separate layers?

    Hello all, I'm wondering if its possible to achieve a blended light effect with the layers separated. Right now, the only way I see to give lighted effects that awesome blended look is if a brush with color dodge is used on an image and on the layer that the image is on. Using the same brush...

    Preserving brush results with color dodge mode on transparent canvas?

    Thank you IAmSam. I'd wager you used a different method to achieve that result? Looks great. I have attached an image below that compares the methods mentioned so far (not sure what IAmSam's method was tho). Take a look: They both look pretty good, but I think it might be beneficial to merge...

    Preserving brush results with color dodge mode on transparent canvas?

    @revnart My apologies for not trying your solution 2 earlier. After trying it out proper, it does appear to be working the way I intend it to. @IamSam I've attached the space bg I've used for this project. I'm still curious to see what your solution is (if its different than revnart's) if...

    Preserving brush results with color dodge mode on transparent canvas?

    ^ close, but not quite. The goal is to separate the stars from the space background once the blended effect of the space bg has been applied to the stars (thanks to color dodge). The reason for doing so is to obtain an image of the stars, with transparency, after they have been blended with the...

    Preserving brush results with color dodge mode on transparent canvas?

    Thanks for that suggestion thebestcpu! I'm not sure what you mean by "cropped version" of the PSD, but I have attached the PSD file in question along with the brush that was used (its free to use). Hope this helps!

    Preserving brush results with color dodge mode on transparent canvas?

    Thank you revnart and IamSam. I have noted both your solutions and copied your posts into a word document located in this project's directory. IamSam, if you could find another way to achieve this result, that'd be awesome! I will keep watching this thread and look forward to a solution if you...

    Preserving brush results with color dodge mode on transparent canvas?

    Thank you for the constructive explanation IamSam. What I'm trying to do is create a star field using a star field brush and taking the result to apply elsewhere. The way the brush is designed, it seems to work properly only with the layout I explained in the OP, but the problem I have is in...

    Preserving brush results with color dodge mode on transparent canvas?

    Hello all, Is it possible to use a brush with color dodge mode, brush over an image on a different layer, then copy the results with the image layer being a transparent canvas? Currently, if I delete the image on which a brush was applied (in color dodge mode), unless the image remains, the...
