Tutorial: Signature Lighting Effects
Difficulty: Easy
In this tutorial today, I will show you how I do my lighting effects in signatures.
Step 1Take the signature that you want to add the lighting effects too. Mine can be seen below.
Step 2Create a new layer, then along the top toolbar: go to Image -> Apply Image.
Then go to Filter -> Render - > Lighting Effects.
Play with the settings until you get something you like, my options can be seen below aswell as the resulting signature.
Step 3I like the lighting effects that this had produced although wanted the lighting to slightly more intense.
I simply created a new layer, applied the image again and added the same Lighting effects filter to this new layer.
Step 4You can finish the signature off with text, border, sharpening and blurring specific areas of the signature to highlight the focal and more.
Hope you enjoyed this tutorial, and if you have questions regarding specific steps, dont hesitate to post below.
