Make your image look awesome with a few lighteffects

1- First of all you need your image. I found my image on sxc.hu. I found this image

perfect for what I want to do here.

2- What you need to do now is to make the image black and white. For those who

use Adobe Photoshop CS3 you must go to Image Adjustments Black & White.

Also you can play a little with the settings till you get the result you want.

3- Now you need to add some lights. Select the Gradient Tool and select this color:

#05edfc. Also from the Gradint settings make sure you select the Radial Gradient

and for the color effect to be Foreground to Transparent. Create a new blank layer

over the image. Click and drag.

4- Next name the light Blue and set the blending option to Screen. You can move it

wherever you want. I allready have an idea where to put my lights.

layer and fill it with Black. Make sure this layer is lower than the lights and over the
