Use the Lasso Tool to make a rough selection around the clothing you want to make sparkle. This effect is popular with clothing, so let’s focus on that with our example image.
The key to this effect is choosing different objects in a photo, and applying a different glitter texture to each. Select the visible texture and set the Blending Mode to Screen.
We’ve included 4 textures, but feel free to find and use your own!Ĭhoose the first texture you want to apply, and hide the rest. This will add the textures to the Layer Stack above the background photo. Navigate to the folder that contains the glitter textures you want to use, select them, and hit Place. Open the File menu and select Place Linked. It’s time to get into the sparkling specifics of this effect! Open up the image that you want to apply the glitter effect to in Photoshop.

The rougher areas will encourage the viewer to use their imagination. This approach creates ebb and flow within an image, and avoids the trap of a dark painting that just looks stiff.

So in this workshop, I try to do less detailing, to create a contrast between the rough and the intricate.
