I don't even use photoshop anymore, but I still watch your videos, since they're so inspirational and many of the ideas can be used in compositor softwares. :)
Dude, your tutorials are amazing. From you I learned that Bevel/Emboss/Inner Shadow layer styles are actually pretty powerful
OMG your tutorials are AWESOME! I love the way you explain things, it makes PS so digestible and enjoyable.

You Sir. Are a Legend.
i've been searching for this all my life
Yo, that was way easier than I expected it to be
Super helpful channel! 🖖🤘
you are awesome!
Your channel is awesome
Fantastic
But how do we create THIS photoshop action?
Exactly. It's not helpful to say "here's how to use my present". Click air.
Download the third "image" and change the extension from .jpg to .atn... Thanks so much for this. Saved me a ton of work.
Ah great thanks for posting... setting up downloads is a bit tricky with irregular formats. That helps though - I think an extension problem will be easier to solve
Great stuff. You've won a fan.
Right on!
Awesome tutorial!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!

@@Texturelabs merci beaucoup + don't mention it
great tutorial! Do you have any tips for creating rays on a colourful, lighter background like a sunrise/sunset image?
Thanks sir
Best channel on youtube!!!
Too kind!
Great things
Thanks Braidy 🤝
No prob!
I love this video and had great success using it with just text. Would you consider doing a tutorial on how to use this same effect on an image (like a photo with multiple colors present)?
Awesome tutorial. As aways :)
Ha, cool... always nice to see some familiar faces or dragons on here
Thanks.
Wow sir your good job sir ,i like it
very good
the shadow looks so real
I had a quick question. I really like this video and you mentioned a link to how to build the action myself and I would also like to learn how to make these rays myself as well. I like to learn how to do these things manually. Does the video in the description Magic Smoke Text Effect teach just the action, or does it also show that it can be used to make rays as well?
wowy-wow
Mate! First of all thanks for sharing such ammmazing tool! I'd love to ask you if I must use this action on a black subject with a black backgrounf, or I can us it also on colred object and a proper background....? Waiting your gentle reply. Big fan from Italy!!!
great video
Thanks!
This is a really great video, and the piece I'm working on looks really cool, but for some reason, on mine, the light beams aren't shining *through the letters*, like yours are. It's just a big light burst behind the text. What am I doing wrong?
🙏💐Awesomely Brother 👌👌👌👌.
Great tutorial! I am having trouble opening the action file so I am unable to complete.
Hey mate, I just come across you page and wow, awesome! I tried your action though and it keeps getting to layer 8 and then restarts the acrion lopping and I have to cntl alt delete to shut photoshop down as I can't do anything while it's looping. Any clue why it could be doing that? Cheers
Can you make a tutorial on how to use this effect in an image... Like behind a person or subject in an image.... Or light ray coming from window pannels... Please consider it.... Love your work.... Keep it up
Hey! If you want to use the effect, "behind a person" Do this:
1. Cut out the person
2. duplicate the layer
3. On the duplicated layer: Ctrl+U & take "Lightness" Slider all the way to the left (You're left with a silhouette)
4. Hide the color layer
5. run the action
6. Un-Hide the Color layer & Hide the Silhouette layer
7. Make adjustments
Through a window - I would assume it would be the same. adjust the size of the canvas to whichever side the window will be on and run the action the same way, then mask out what you don't want. Goodluck!
I am trying to apply this action to one of my pieces but I cannot get it to work unfortunately, a mix of the light source not being large enough and not being central in the piece are contributing factors. I think it'd be cool to have a future plugin version of this that allows you to choose which layer is the primary light source and have that layer be the point from which the light rays are emitted
hi your video tutorial is awsome... but tutorial video eagle is an raster images or png its showing on your layer pannel in text formate .... is their any problem...
the action dont work in ps 2022 error la commande sélection n'est pas disponible
Hey Texturelabs wanted to do this for my logo in a tshirt but would it work if it didnt have a black background? Technically the black background would be the black tshirt itself that would be printed on
TIP: If you don't see the center target in the crop tool, hit Command "T" on any object and make sure the tiny checkbox (top left) next to the center anchor icon is checked on. Go back to the crop tool and you will now see the center anchor point. The show and hide anchor position is only visible in the context menu (top bar) when transform is activated.😉
thanks so much
how your eagle layer is a text layer while on the canvas its an image ?
Im having issues with playing the action. I am using Photoshop 2021. Is that an issue? When I hit play, it only does the action once then doesn't keep going. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Good +++
how dii you expand with the crop tool and get a black background, please explain better....
been binging all your videos... this might be the first one that's less than 100 percent perfect, only because I was thinking you'd explain what the repeated action is that creates the rays, and how it works.
I'm content to just download and find out, it's a very minor quibble. the effect looks great, love your videos.
I know, I hear ya... I feel exactly the same way about this one... At the moment I didn't think it would interest anyone, but see it differently now!
i keep getting "program error" throughout the process. Did you manage to drop the step-by-step link?
I am really trying and following intently....I'm not getting anything that you get....can you help?..
I'm following exactly what you are doing but I'm not getting the same thing.....I click on the long light rays, 16 bit, play, then pop up boxes come up asking me about light rays and zoom box and then the entire thing has a crop box and I can't get rid of it....I also don't get the light behind the text when using the brush tool...
Hey wait is it just me or just new on UA-cam, when you say like button the like button actually going to glow? HAHAHAHAHA
Comment obtenir les lumière ?
how do we prevent the light rays from creating a black backrground? I'm trying everything i can to delete the black background and it's making my design look bad
the "select" command is not available
Same
I tried to extend the canvas with the crop tool like you did at 3:22 but I keep getting a transparency layer. How did you extend the canvas using the crop tool so that the black also extended?
Wow that is a great question... I just tried it again in Photoshop and it was transparent... BUT I think this might be the deal - if Delete Cropped Pixels is selected in the crop tool option up top, it'll use the BG color, if it's not checked it'll make it transparent. See if you find that to be the case as well...
@@Texturelabs Thanks for the suggestion. I already had 'Delete Cropped Pixels' selected while trying this and the transparent background was what it produced. Due to your suggestion I tried to deselect it which took away the transparent layer but unfortunately it was white instead of black so I am not sure what is going on here.
@@GSL.LEYREADY Make sure you foreground/background colours are set to black behind.
! Crop can expand the canvas ! All this time.
chiqueee
Actions return error when using another language because copy layer is translated so command like “select layer "Lightrays copy 7"” return an error because the layer have another name and can not be found. In french, the layer is named “Lightrays copie 7” instead of “Lightrays copy 7” and the action fails because of that.
I needed to change those commands.
Tips for other people reading my comment : The backlight need to be adjusted for the beams equally spread all around the shape.
I loved the result, but when I applied the action there is a note saying that "the "selection" command its not available right now" what is this? anyone else with that problem??
I have the same problem! Did you find a solution?
I had a non-english photoshop version. I switched the language to English, and now it works
Maybe it'll work in your case, too
When I press play, why does photoshop keep saying "the "select" command is not available ? This is driving me nuts
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
its not allowing me to use the actions light ray one
im on a Mac
Hello, help please, the action doesn't work for me : "Selection command is not available" and I have no choice only to clic on Continue or Cancel
Ok I know why : because the name of layer "copy" in the steps of the action is "copie" in the Layer panel in my french photoshop. And the same for background layer or backlight layer in panel layer.
Good news, it works : You have first to choose "step by step" in Action Options, then in the first group of actions look (in french here) : Sélection calque "Lightrays copy 7". Stop the action and select this line. Make a new record and select with mouse in layers panel the copy with number 7 (in french : Lightrays copie 7) then stop the reccording. Now you can see in Action panel the new action with the good name so you can delete the first one, I mean you can delete "Lightrays copy 7". That's it. Make same with "Lightrays copy 8".
You have to do the same in each three groups of actions. In the end, delete all layers except background, Backlight and your logo and test again the action, it would work perfectly.
====================
Finally it's quite easy : you have to replace the name "copy" in action panel by its translation in your langage and to do that you have to make a new short reccord and delete the existing one as explain above.
Good luck and thanks for this wonderful tuto !
Changing the language to english also works! Thank you for your comment, else I would have never discovered that!
