Hi! I love your videos. I'd like to know if you can make a tutorial showing how to make the aliens (Being of light or energy) from the movie "Knowing". Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Thank you for your suggestion. This is an illustration project. One can do it PS, however, it would require multiple hours to do it and and high level of illustrative skills. :-)

[@west_coast_girl]

Almost got it. Had 2 glitches. Once when it told me I couldn't edit a layer, I didn't realize you highlighted the layer but was working on the new layer. And when you said the very last "hit color overlay" you didn't specify any settings, and mine came up with different settings than you had on your screen (the color wasn't automatically set to blue like it was on your screen and I didn't know what color you used) In the end, I just copied the overlay from the brick glow layer above it to the brick glow outer. It looks right, so I guess it worked.

[@aatishsawardekar104]

Nice video sir

[@satriairawansaputra9592]

nice

[@thereturningshadow]

Marty, you might want to mention when making the Levels adjustment to make sure it is NOT clipped to the top layer selected.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Thanks for your comment. Adjustment layers don't becoming clipping masks automatically. One must manually clip it, therefore, it isn't necessary for me to inform people not to clip it. conversely, if an adjustment layer needs to be clipped, I'd mention it.

hi plz make some face vector art in photoshop

[@viasavy]

Do you have a tutorial on how to make the flashing of the neon sign effect like you did at the beginning and end of this tutorial? And what about the link to the sound effect of the neon flashing sound? It would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much for all your tutorials Marty!

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

The flashing neon lights were created by editing together just 2 frames: the face with lights and the face without lights. They were edited in my screen recording software, Camtasia.

[@viasavy]

@@BLTV_Photoshop You are so awesome Marty! Thank you for all your creative work!

[@GuruVigneshmac]

How to do that light glitch effect for animation? Could u plz do that a tutorial?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

It was done in my screen recording software, Camtasia. It's simply quick cuts between 2 frames - one with the neon light on and the other off.

[@TheKr0ckeR]

​@@BLTV_Photoshop thanks a lot! how can i find the sound effect when animated the neon?

[@muhammadsulaiman1402]

THAT AWESOME, I DID IT! so I click RED BUTTON!

[@misarh_abdo]

[@DidierWiot]

The neon sound effect is great. Can you elaborate a bit on how you created it?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

I found an audio file of an electric current that I liked and edited it to match the visuals in my screen-recording program.

[@aces9136]

Is there a way to save this with a transparent background so it can be added to other backgrounds other than the brick wall?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Hide all layers except the ones that show the neon & its glows. Save your image as a .png file. Now, you can place it over any dark background.

[@aces9136]

@@BLTV_Photoshop thank you! I'm still new and learning and appreciate your videos! I had tried to do that but it would only save the white glow when i hid the background, saw the neon and then saved.

[@monayemhossainshajib8623]

For pressing cntrl + new layer icon what's the benefit for it than only new layer icon... .please told me that

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

It makes a new layer below the active layer.

Go to Image > Image Size. Increase its resolution. Keep in mind, it won't make your image sharper. Watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6K8eauof5yBqKM

how did you made this light on and off effect in startup at 0:15 can you please tell me?i will be thankful to you...

thank you so much brother :)

[@maxinegarra246]

hi! I'm wondering how can I pick the colors by code if ever I want to use a different color like pink or yellow etc.?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

The only reason one might type into the hexadecimal field is if you already know the code for a specific color. Just pick a different color in the color preview window.

[@maxinegarra246]

@@BLTV_Photoshop how were u able to know the codes?

[@alakeshT]

How did u make that light blink effect at the 1st in the starting of the video snd also at the last

I don't know why but I can't get the line to invert to white at 5:03 with Ctrl + Shift + I, then select + modify * contract. Once I get to the part about filling panel with white using Alt + Delete. It simply refuses to fill the lines.. Any suggestions because that seems to be the part that holding my project up..... Any options would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure your foreground color is white and not black.

Thanks. For the past few years, my tutorials have had translated subtitles (captioning). Click the "CC" icon at the bottom, right of the video and then click "Spanish (?)". The translations aren't perfect, but much of it is still understandable.
