Turn On the High Beams: Add head lights to a vehicle in Photoshop

If there’s one thing that all of us have encountered at one point or another it is going through the frames from a shoot and realizing that we forgot something important or could have done things a little differently.

When I first read the title of this video my mind automatically went in a completely different direction (my mind has a mind of its own, don’t judge me). In this tutorial, Photoshop guru and rocker of the man bun Aaron Nace gives us step-by-step instructions for bringing on the “high beams” of a vehicle after the image has already been taken.

Aaron’s educational mantra of “making Photoshop easy” is more than just a far-fetched slogan by a pro more intent on bolstering their ego by making it look simple to them. He makes it easy to follow along and understand the reasoning and logic behind the tools being used.

So, if you wanna put headlights on something (or someone), here is your guided tour! If you give it a shot, post a link in the comments to your results!
