Practice Fireworks Effects
We included a drop shadow, a glow effect, and outer bevel.
On this effect we did a Bevel Boss from the Filter/Eye Candy option and we also used a Motion Trail effect.
We used the magic wand tool to erase the background and included a drop shadow effect.
In this picture, we layered the graphics, we adjusted the alpha (transparency), and we added a gradual fade to the image by using Commands/Creative/Fade Image.
We layered this picture with a black and white on top and a color underneath. We erased hoes in the black and white to let color show through. Last we added a Gaussian Blur.
