  • In today's Photoshop tutorial I'm going to show you how to create a vibrant visual effect by adding neon lights to a photo. This popular art style often incorporates simple shapes or text for the neon lights, which are illuminated in bright colours. I'll explain how to use Photoshop to draw a custom shape and give it a vibrant glow with the help of Photoshop's Layer Style options, then we'll use a clever technique to apply a colourful ambience to the original photo as if it is being illuminated by the new light source. As a finishing touch, we'll also add some smoke and particle effects to create a neat cyberpunk art piece with a futuristic vaporwave style.

      He's great on almost every step.
      I believe a beginner would be stuck between stoking the path and "free transform" steps, since he doesn't state you have to "delete" the path first, prior to "free transform" step.
      A minor thing, I still give it 5 stars. :)

      you can use a brush tool to "paint" highlights and shadows where the neon lights would appear on the subject. This is relatively high PS skill level though and even requires knowledge on how to paint.
