Fig. 7 As a next step I do the light bulb, which I cut with the “magnetic lasso”: The lasso automatically adapts to the outlines in contours with much contrast. The polygon lasso is hidden as a second symbol under the lasso -just press a little longer! As I mentioned before I switch to the “drag & drop arrow” then and use it to simply drag the selected light bulb into my picture. There I turn it into the right position with the command “edit ->transform -> rotate 180″(Fig.8).
Fig. 8 Unfortunately, I cannot take the circle of light around the bulb with the polygon lasso.Therefore, I use a simple trick: I copy the white area once more with the magnetic lasso and insert it as a “new layer:”With the filter “Gaussian Blur” within the filter selection “blur”I may then control the “glow”effect step by step. As this filter has a real time preview, you may estimate the result very well while setting it.
