Small image, but looks like long exposure with moving lights running through frame.

The images are quite small to see well. What "effect" are you looking for exactly? Motion? Glow?

G’day Kristopher,

The closest I can come to this is by doing the following:

Firstly to get my wavy strand I Googled hair strands and chose an image of black hair strands against a white background. I set this as the bottom layer in Photoshop and made sure my mode was RGB (image > mode > RGB ) and then inverted the image (image > adjust > invert )so it was white hair against a black background.
Then I created a blank layer above this. Then I used the gradient tool and created a striped yellow and red gradient, it ended up with about 30 stops each one right next to the other alternating red and yellow with a smoothness of 30 (click on the gradient at the top to enter the gradient editor), I applied it to this blank layer at an angle and got a stripey red and yellow gradient. The stripes were still a bit thick so I transformed this layer (edit > tranform > scale) till it was abour a quarter of the width. Then I duplicated this gradient layer a further three times, each time dragging the gradient to fill in the white space on the right. Then I linked these four gradient layers and merged them (layer > merge linked)

Then I then set the blending mode of this gradient layer to Multiply. This applied the stripes to the hair layer beneath. I then fine tuned things by blurring both layers a little. I did this on duplicate layers so I kepr my originals intact.

It’s not exactly the same but with fine tuning it’s close and I’ve no doubt there are, as usual in Photoshop, at least three other ways to do it?

hope this helps

regards
john

Hello John,

My apologies for not replying sooner, I have been quite snowed under with various tasks thrown at me! As they say, there’s no rest for the wicked.

Thank you very much for your advice and help. I’ll open up and delve int o Photoshop in a second and see what I can produce. Fingers crossed, I may produce something with similarity.

Thank you very much indeed.

All the best,

Kristopher (UK).

Kristopher,

The person who made the graphic in the first place probably knows how it’s done. Why not ask him ore her? Did you get it from a website?

I could probably do it or something similar if I messed around long enough, but I have no way of knowing how it was done.

Oh I don’t know — I’ve achieved some pretty cool effects from time to time and, if you’d asked me how a day later, I’d’ve have a job recreating it! 😉
