    does anyone have a suggestion how to make human body glow and look natural?
    I’ve tried using the glow effect after masking the face and hands of the person(leaving the clothes)but it’s not what I was looking for and it also makes the face look darker when the intensity is set to 0 and that brings a problem too..
    thanks for anyone who can help..

    Although I’m not sure exactly what look you’re going for, here’s one way you could do this:
    Try duplicating your body layer, isolate the body parts you want to glow in the top layer, and apply a blur to the top layer. Then use the “ADD” transfer mode or play with other transfer modes till you’re happy with the result. Also play with the opacity setting of the top layer, if the result is too intense. You can of course also add a glow effect to the top layer and play with all three variables: Glow effect, transfer mode, opacity.

    Hope this helps.

    Kind regards,
    Eric

    go check out aharons tutorial on outlining then add the blur effect to the outlined duplicated layer . its really easy and would be the quickest way for you to get the effect you want. aharon is the man .
