EUREKA!
14 Let there be light Now let’s add some glow to the bulb. Open the file LightbulbGlow.jpeg, select and copy the centre filament of the bulb and paste it into your main image. Press Cmd/Ctrl + T to resize it and place it in the middle of your bulb. Then set the blend mode to Screen and use a layer mask to blend out the edges. Finally, add a new layer and, with the blending mode set to Overlay, select a soft round brush. Hold down Option/Alt to sample a bright yellow colour from the glow of the bulb and paint with a low opacity over both the bulb and right side of the face. You should now have your glow.
15 Final touches I never feel an image is finished until I’ve done a final colour correction over the whole image, ensuring all the elements are working together. This can be done with a simple Photo Filter adjustment layer or a more intricate Gradient Colour adjustment. Once you’ve done your colour correction, add a final Dodge & Burn layer to add a last dash of pop to the bulb.
