As a second tutorial to my "headlight" tutorial from the previous thread. (or running daylight effect lol)
ALL PICS RIGHTS BELOW TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS that are used here. [apart from mine of course hehe]
First off, get your pic ready. Low key shots are ideal for this to work as the daylight will be white in color. Works with high key too, but you cant really see the effect much.
Difficulty : Easy-Medium (depending on your knowledge on Ps)
My experiment image is this : Sourced from Minichamps
Method 1: Polygonal Lasso Way
Open your desired pic. This way has the same steps that Ive used on my Aventador tutorial.
Steps
1. Open your desired photo in Ps.
2. Click on the polygonal lasso tool on the left side of your screen. Carefully trace around the part of the image you want to make glow. Feather the selection by clicking on "Select" and choosing "Feather." Set the feather radius to one.
3.Right hand click and select "Layer via copy". Older version of Ps, Go to "Layer," then select "New." Click on "Layer via Copy."
4.Look to the right side of your screen, and locate the "Layers" tab. Click on "Layer 1." Go to the drop-down box labeled "Properties," then choose "Screen." (The tab should be just beside the opacity option).
5.Click on "Filter" at the top of your screen, Choose "Blur," then "Gaussian Blur."Pull the slider to the right to create more blur and to the left for less blur. For my Aventador shot I used a 20px blur radius. You can experiment around to achieve the desired blur effect.
6.Now right hand click "Layer 1" and go to "Blending options". In the layer styles tab select "Outer glow". You can try the setting I've used in the picture below for your model. Duplicate as many times as you like to achieve desired glow effect
7. Repeat steps 2-6 for the next headlights OR create a "New Group" for all those layers, copy that grouped layers and and move them over onto the next headlights. (I'm lazy so I did this )
8. Once you're satisfied with the progress, press Shift + Ctrl + F to flatten the layers. END.
Method 2: Brush Tool Way
1. Open your desired pic in Ps and create a new layer.
2. Press "B" for the brush tool. Make sure that your brush colour is in WHITE. I used the "Hard Round Pressure Opacity" brush. Hardness,Opacity and Flow is set to 100%. Now the size of the brush is based on the resolution of your pic. Press "Ctrl + 1" to zoom in to the actual pixels of the image or smtg what they call it "100% crop". Play around with the size of the brush so that it fits just enough for the LED strip of the Laferrari. (refer pic below)
3. Once you found the right size, select the new layer and hold down the shift button and pull your mouse down a bit to create a straight line to match the length of the strip of your pic when zoomed in. Then press "M" and right hand click on the line you just made and select "free transform". Move the line in place to fit the led strip.
4. Once you fitted it, set the blending options of that layer to "screen". Next, set your feather to 1px and click on "Filter" at the top of your screen, Choose "Blur," then "Gaussian Blur."Pull the slider to the right to create more blur and to the left for less blur. (similar as the polygonal lasso method)
5. Now right hand click "Layer 1" and go to "Blending options". In the layer styles tab select "Outer glow". You can try the setting I've used in the picture below for your model. Duplicate the layer as many times as you like to achieve desired glow effect. (similar as the polygonal lasso method)
6. Repeat steps 4 & 5 for the next headlights OR create a "New Group" for all those layers, copy that grouped layers and and move them over onto the next headlights.
7. Once you're satisfied with the progress, press Shift + Ctrl + F to flatten all the layers. END.

There may have been some mistakes in the tutorial above, as I'm experimenting/ trial and error-ing along the way lol I will update them if I find some mistakes along away
Hope to see you post your results of your LaFerrari if you have tried this tutorial.
