weltraumpirat Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Is it possible to paint a realistic looking Lightsaber blade (Star Wars like) and use this maybe for a template. I like to edit some pictures with two or more fighting Jedis / Sithlords in it. love-sietspl and Brenoca 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandbrilliance Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I saw this on a video editing site. Basically they created a white thick stroke line and then added a glow to it using the right color. I've used a line stroke, mask, group with glow effect, all editable. You can play with the glow settings and blend mode, i've used screen (for a lighter more realistic effect), but you can try others. (sorry there might be some in-painting issues on the background, as I've first had to remove the existing lightsaber). Here's a JPG preview. lightsaber.zip Quote BRANDbrilliance • Graphics • Websites • Printing • E-marketing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 This is one of those moments when you ask... What is the tool called? What is it supposed to do? How do I use it? When will I use it? Haven't I seen this before? Oh yeah I have!

Brenoca Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) Hi @weltraumpirat, a little late here but I wrote this step-by-step tutorial on how to create a lightsaber and add lighting effect (not just glow), for a realistic lightsaber. https://collectibleshq.com/add-a-jedi-lightsaber-to-photos-in-3-easy-steps-affinity-tutorial Edited December 10, 2020 by Brenoca jer, GreenLion and Alfred 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
