Photoshop Challenge progress report part 1

1. I learned how to add special effects to layers (like lighting, visibility). I also learned how to create an outer glow effect that looks like  lightsaber, so I can create lightsabers in future projects that involve star wars.

The tutorial I used was very helpful, and the guy didn't go to fast when explaining the process. I would reccomend the tutorial if you wanted to make a lightsaber in photoshop.
