We will add a dramatic spotlight. Increase the ambience until you can just see the background, but its still dark enough that the spotlight has a strong effect. This is a great trick to simplify a busy image and provide a nice area to add text for designers.
Under texture, choose red. We are now loading the red channel into the lighting effects We will do WAY more with textures in upcoming tutorials on this, very soon. Look at how it popped the texture on the barrel. This is more realistic because when you side light something called raking light it casts tiny shadows and pops texture.

WOW been using photoshop for awhile and I think this is one of the best tool ever , Thank you so much for sharing. Is this only for as my Photoshop CC does not have anywhere I can adjust the beam.
All the adjustments are down the side for ambience etc but I cannot adjust the direction, the beam is static. Didi you want the video? One of the things that I find so frustrating about PS and trying to learn it from tutorials like yours is that I can follow the exact same steps as an instructor and not even get the same screens that they do.
In this cas I have the latest PS CC and when I go to render and spotlight effects I merely get a spotlight with none of the rings or dials that enable me to position or otherwise modify it. This is one of your BEST tutorials! Much better pace for us retirees who sometime struggle to follow along.
Thank you. Great tutorial, though experienced in Photoshop, this was new to me, so thanks, and yes I would be interested in knowing more on this subject. Very helpful and well expressed. I am an amateur photographer and use PS almost every day. Colin, I enjoy all your tutorials.
Tuesday is my favorite day of the week And now Thursdays too. I updated PS 2 days ago Any suggestions or am I just out of luck? Thanks for your time. I had totally forgotten about this effect! Your demo is much more sophisticated than what I did and opens up new possibilities for me. Thanks again for another great tutorial! Can you help with this? I too am using RGB in 8 bit mode. Always looking forward to your news — not sure I can obtain and remember all the knowledge from you — unfortunately — but in small steps I get more and more knowledgeable about Photoshop — and as that is my main goal — I am still progressing — only using Photoshop for fun — and by your help is still fun!!!
Great tutorial. First time I became aware of this filter. I love the way you provide a written tutorial with your video. Great work. Love this tutorial Colin. I have not had much success with this tool in the past but I see there has been some improvements made so I am interested in any other tutorials you might make on this subject.
