Photoshop action "Neon glow": shimmering light reflections for your photos

Your subjects in the midst of glowing colors and glistening lights

With the Photoshop action "Neon glow" , all the tension in your photos is discharged in a pulsating fire of light. Small colored luminous particles twitch past on unpredictable paths, and their traces burn into the image like a long exposure. An action that makes your photos stand out and euphorizes the viewer!

Disco, party, birthday or two passionate hearts coming together

The look that results from the Photoshop action is reminiscent of the dance floor, disco fever and perhaps even the 70s with its glowing play of colors . Use it for a bright and eye-catching birthday card, for example. Use it on flyers and posters to announce the next party. This spectacular flicker is also recommended for a CD cover or a social media image that is sure to cause a stir. Show the flickering of passion in photos of couples in love. Or transport your subjects into a fairytale-like, glowing, colorful world . The action creates the effect - and you decide what to make of it.

Start the action, let the glow flare up and customize the look

Once you have loaded the action into Photoshop, select your motif and place the selection on a new layer. Then all it takes is one click and dozens of image processing steps run automatically . Finally, your motif is in a frame, the colored glow is set and an editable, also glowing lettering is waiting for your text in front of it all.

Basically, you can further customize the image result in various ways:

• Bring your subject back into the picture by toning down the effect strength locally.
• Set a vignette to enhance the effect of the glow in the overall image.
• Change the text content, size, position and font of the lettering.
• Adjust the colors of the shimmering lights and the color gradient of the background.
• Make your entire original image shine out of the background.

The corresponding layers are already available for all these edits. Using tools such as brushes or functions such as opacity and the color picker, you can easily make your changes. Dance the dance of the shimmering lights - exactly to your beat!
