Whether you are retouching a portrait or an object, the secret to creating amazing rim light is to have a perfect selection of the subject. The more precise and accurate the selection, the more realistic the effect. In this tutorial, after learning how the phenomenon of diffraction works, and what role does it play in shaping the backlight, we will learn how to combine masks and groups of layers to create this effect.
