i have CS6 and i cant find the mode:screen thing for the bema of light, and Im doing a video game for my middle school, the main area is a rain forest, so I wanted to try and use the beam of light. My school's version in CS5.5.. But its a really cool tutorial!
Oh yeah any other things you do the color balance I was familiar with but I love the last idea because I love the watercolor look or the sharp end look
Better tip for number 1. Create an empty new layer on normal mode. Go to the "image" tab. In it you'll find "apply image". Click that and it duplicates the viewable image into the empty layer.
Wow. THANK YOU for posting this! I wanted to try some new things, but I'm obviously a noob with photoshop! Might you also have a coloring/painting tutorial? I'd like all the help I can get. ;] Hahaha.
