My nephew asked me last night if I could edit a few picks for Star Wars day. I only had time to do one; I could have just slapped in cut and paste lightsabers and been done, but that looked way too cheesy. I'm still not completely satisfied but all in all, I don't think it turned out too bad. Since I was having fun playing, I gave him a single and double bladed lightsaber, darkened things up a bit, and added a planet – because why not. Oh, and some lens flares in "honor" of J.J. Abrams. 😉
For the Photoshop gurus, how would you do the lightsaber? I finally had to just call it and be done. Messing around, I tried several techniques I found searching Google. Pretty much, the version I ended up with is a line colored a very light version of the end color and then I played with the glow effect on it. I kept fiddling until I didn't hate it.
Sharing just for fun. 😀
