Can I adjust it at all.

Can I adjust it at all?

Absolutely. Once it's loaded into your Styles pallette, you can adjust it to your heart's content, just like other Styles.

And I highly suggest adjusting the Range a bit.

For more on how I use the lightsaber Styles (which were created using a method derived from a tutorial by QUAGNON), go here:

I am VERY outdated in the Photoshop thing; I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 and I'm having trouble making a lightsaber quick and efficiently, for a movie as well as pictures. Sorry if Photoshop 2.0 is too outdated to to this but please give any advice you can

Did anyone know how i make lightsaber's like Revenge of the sith?

ROTS lightsabers are crappy, you can make much better looking ones through photoshop.

Yes, I know i use photoshop, after effects to make lightsabers.... the problem is how did i make them rounder, it's hard to set the market exactly round the whole saber.... you know what i mean?

What market?

Wow, that tut is a blast from the past. Does work for quite well for photoshop, however for rotoscoping after effects is a million times easier.

Word. But, it still gives some of the best results.

my recent test using adobe after effects: Click

By the way your two lightsaber ignition lens flare are a bit off
