I need to show this led finger light with a white background. But the light needs to be on and show a little color on that white background. If I just use a brush and white out some area around the light hitting the table then it does not look very good. I want to make a great looking photo to put on the front of this website. I would appreciate any help at all. There is a photo now on the front of this website www.lducompany.com of the finger light but they want me to change it to have a white back ground but show the color light. Thank you.

first off, i think you are looking for the photshop forum.


second,
try putting a white layer underneath the image and setting the layer with the lights to screen

you will probably lose the black that appears to be attached t othe lights themselves. in that case use the lasso tool and highlight those black plastic bits, inverse the selection then use screen.

hope this helps.

it would be easier to understand if you posted the picture so we can find the best way to solve your problem.
