Marix:
After hilt is all done
1. Open new layer. Have it's color be the foreground color, and have your foreground color be black. Then set it to screen.
2. You can use either a brush or a path. path is easier for prop type images, and brush is easy no matter what you do. Se the brush size right, then set it to white. Click on the starting point, hold shift, and then click on the ending point.
3. When all that is good, duplicate that layer twice. Go back to the original blade layer. Go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur and set it to 5 pixels.
4. Go to the layer right above the one you just did the blur to. Once again, Go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur, and this time set it to 20.
5. Do this to the one above the 20 px blur, and do it at 40. Then merge it down. Only do that once, or it will mess up. Then, when you do that, the screen will go black. Set it on screen. It will go back to clear.
6. Finally, the glow! Go to Color>Color Balance, and set it at what you want. Highlights aren't really needed, Midtones and Shadows usually are. You can decide if you want luminosity or not.
