SilverIce Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 i want to add a sparkle to a cheek and i'm not sure how to do that. i've tried using noise and then a glow, but it just pixilates the skin and changes the colors dramtically. the effect i want is like a light shimmer, like a glittery makeup effect.

pyrochild Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 heres what i did. create a new layer on top of the face, select the part of her cheek that you want to be sparkly, fill it with black (on the new layer only) and then add noise with 0 color saturation and very low intensity, then use curves or curves+ to increase the luminosity so the spots are bright, then set the blending mode for the new layer to "screen." make any other adjustments you want... maybe try glow at the end...

SilverIce Posted May 4, 2007 Author Share Posted May 4, 2007 it works almost completely but then white spots show up on the skin, looking very mottled.
