You duplicate the layer and on one copy you do color to alpha with black, which leaves white, on the other you do color to alpha with white, which leaves black. You should then be left with a black shadows layer and a white highlights layer.

thanks for the tutorial EK !

i tried it and found it pretty complex.... or a lot of steps
then i got into exp mode and tried the same effect from another angle

i used a round brush, with random size dynamic
then layerfx bevel
duplicating the highlight and tightening one with an alpha curve to get a more focused light
and some more playing around with modes
its not perfect but an interesting result

Just goes to show, there's more than one way to skin a cat. I like all your results. I only put it up here to inspire. *pops espers bubble wrap* And to entertain myself.

My bubbles are small so I put small fish in it. Next time, bigger bubbles. Thank you for the excellent tutorial, ek22. Very nicely written and great results. :yes

Esper would you be able to share your secret on how you filled the text with the sparks brush so evenly

Magic, probably...

every one, would you be interested in this kind of texture/effect?
