18. There is missing some lightplay in this piece, so now you need to enhace the light even more. Heres what you can do:
Choose the gradient tool
pick a bright color
create a new layer
make sure the gradient has the setting , foreground to transparent
draw a line in the lightdirection
adjust the gradient by changing opacity
move the gradient around so the effect will be noticable but not to strong
19. 2 parts are involved in this step:
1. I wasn’t happy with the yellow light so i decided to add colder blue light. I did this by using color variations on a duplicated layer of the image on which opacity i toned down.
2. to bring out the pilot and to add more contrast, i marked out his body and i painted with a softedgedbrush around him, opacity was set to very low values. The color used was picked from a closeby area where the light is stronger.
20. you have come pretty far , and in this step you can basically play around with highlights and even adding new objects to enhance composition. You can also correct things , for instance the pilots arm, it looked too odd in the previous image.
