Description A quick tutorial on how to apply an "ambient glow" effect to your images. I've been using this effect when finishing up some of my works.

I actually had this tutorial in que for submission, and it just happened that the #MLP-ATG-Alumni group's theme this week is about how we draw our ponies. Frankly, I still haven't established a consistent drawing style (working with 2-3 different pony styles here), and I'm sure a few others can fill in for that purpose. So, here's a general tip for digital works. =p (Razz)

Wala pa sa cable o local. Online pa lang mapapanood dito, at medyo pahirapan na nga dahil sa copyright issues ngayon sa US.

Besides, kung mapunta yan sa local idu-dub lang nila e.. <cringe> Fear

.PSD... unless I'm mistaken that's a Photoshop file. I wonder if I can apply this method on Paint Shop Pro?

In any case, good tutorial. Clear and simple.

Yep, it's "Photoshop Document", I think. =P (Razz)

Anyway, I just mentioned that because this tutorial applies to any flat image (no layers). So this can actually be used on photos too!
