Oh I like that bokeh you added Carlos. And the green with the gold letters looks very classy. Good color choices.

Wallace and Carlos, beautiful yours inputs. :clap

I'm lost in the layers... at last I throw them away and then I start a new one ....

You should not be getting lost in the layers as you end up merging them back together in the end. Before you throw away what you've done, send me a copy and maybe I can help?

Thank you so much for your offer ek22. I've just found that I made an important mistake in one step of the tutorial. I hope to be now in the right direction. :tyspin

I'll let you know.

Beautiful works :bigthup

I tried but can't get the Luce right :puzzled

Practice a bit more, I think :keybdtype

Where the light beams end up depends wholly on where you aim them from. That's what the coordinates are for, to tell the filter where to start the beams. so if you offset them just a tiny bit north and south of the white line, the light beams will go down or up respectively.

Thanks for the advice EK22.
I can see the coordinates. But when I Luced all the paintbrushes, the whole becomes too bright.
Probably I'm doing something wrong. I will practice on it.

If you're doing all the white lines on one layer, yeah, the effect will eventually wash out and become unrecognizable. That's why I separate all the white lines onto individual layers before applying Luce individually.

Not quite what it should be. But now I know what I did wrong.

Thanks EK22 !
