Neon idea

vangogh

Saw this at a car sale room & thought the colours looked quite "Neon" like.



I want to make the colours glow more, but not sure how to. Any ideas?

Used a PS effect & made the edges Glow, which is more Neon like. but again it doesn't glow enough.





Would appreciate suggestions as to how to "glow" these up

Thanks

Here's another try. Its quite ps'd. Not sure if that's allowed

System

With the PS'd version you could try to adjust the filter to make the liines thicker, skew with the saturation and luminosity etc...



The third version is interesting. I like that you kept the details like the bolts and what not.

Here's an example:
Create a new layer then go to Filter/Stylize/Glowing Edges. When the preview comes up you have 3 choices/degrees of line thickness, smoothness and brightness. I played around a bit with this one as well as creating another layer for Hue/Saturation (really went big on the percentages here), and a layer for Curves (again, big movements). You can also do several other effects by choosing the drop down list (little tab where it says "normal"). There may be some who use PS for the entry but I'm going to try and do a clean shoot without manipulation (other than the standard clean up the image/color, etc.).

The possibilities are endless! I did this with my motorcycle shot last year....looks cool but wifey didn't like it...!

I think going back and reshooting the original is worth the trip. (get the sun behind your back when you shoot)

Definately fits the theme now grab a shot that really pops!
