My first task was to add a colour dodge layer and highlight molten man’s fire effect and spiderman’s eyes. I knew I’d want to make them stand out and Moltenman would need to glow – as he does in the comics and the film’s trailer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the main characters done I added a brightness adjustment layer to reduce the exposure of the shot. The colour dodge still made the characters stand out as I’d intended but reduced everything else to make them stand out from the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used a new layer and the colour picker to paint in the orange glow. I actually used a few different colours and set it to the overlay blend mode to create the effect I was looking for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last stage was to add in some effects. In particular, some sparks and some dust. In both cases I duplicated the layers to made them stand out a bit more and really finish off the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was a pretty quick edit but I’m really happy with how it turned out. I hope you like it too. Please let me know what you think. <\/p>\n
