In this tutorial, I will be showing you how to make your images come alive that bit more by adding an effect which many people render obsolete, but if used on the correct image, really makes them pop out.

For the purpose of this tutorial, I will be using an image of my dog.

Firstly, duplicate your layer (image) and go to 'Filter > Artistic > Neon Glow'. If Artistic is not located within your Filter menu, go to 'Filter Gallery' and it will be located there. Pick a colour you think will compliment your shot. In my shot of my dog; he is playing in sunlight, so I went with a yellow to have it exaggerated.

Start with the settings Glow Size: 4, and Glow Brightness: 18. Tweak these for your image to see where the glow really pops out.

Once done, change the Layer Style to Overlay or Vivid Light, whichever one you think looks better for your image.

Here is my final image:

I know it's a simple tutorial, but can give great effects when quickly editing photos.

Hope this helps people!

So this is basically over exposing an image? You can get similar/more adjustable results using the adjustments->exposure

If you were to put your version and my version side-by-side, you'd understand why Neon Glow is far, far better.
