Edge of Glory tutorial
I was asked to do a step by step tutorial on how I created the edge of glory photoshop action as non-photoshop users can replicate it.
1) As I do with all my actions, the first thing I do is duplicate the layer and sharpen.
2) I then duplicated the layer again and added a 105mm Prime lens flare to the top left corner. I brought the opacity down to 64%.
3) I duplicated the lens flare layer and brought the opacity of the new layer down to 70%
4) I added a foreground to transparent gradient layer with white as the color and an opacity of 41%
5) Curves adjusted.
6) Add a pale yellow foreground to transparent gradient layer with an opacity of 18%
7) Adjusted curves.
8) Adjusted blue curves.
9) Adjusted red curves.
10) I added a bright yellow solid color layer with a blending mode of lighten and opacity of 11%.
11) Curves!
12) Add a bright magenta solid color layer with blending mode of lighten and opacity at 11%
13) Add a pale yellow solid color layer with a blending mode of lighten and opacity of 8%.
14) Curves!
15) Curves!
16) I added a seafoam greenish solid color layer with a blending mode of overlay at 18% opacity.
17) Solid color layer of bright orange with a blending mode of multiply and opacity of 14%
18)Solid color layer of brown with a blending mode of color dodge and opacity of 31%
19) Curves!
