So , I have here this siggy :
and here is the result
100% genuine bloom.
If you don't know what bloom is , it's the nice light in almost any anime cartoon , and lately in many games too including World of Warcraft.
So first I flatten my image (make sure you save a PSD first ) :
I duplicate the result :
Brighten the image and remove contrast :
i use Levels because it has more control over the image , but you can use Brighten in the menu and adjust contrast.
After that's done , I apply Gaussian Blur
something high , like 7.5
however if your image is big , you might need more
you should have something like this by now
Now you can change the blend mode , either to Hard Light , Vivid Light or Overlay
depending on how much you brightened your image , you will have to adjust the opacity too. Play around with controls , and have fun. Questions? Ask bellow.
The effect on my current signature
is created the same way , but instead of removing contrast , I added contrast
and here is the result
100% genuine bloom.
