Picture worth 1000 words.

If thing that I did was I save my name under paint brush preset. I did 4 different one (syd, Sydney, squid, and sydney marie kloehn). I went to edit and I went down to paint brush preset. I brightened up the background with the levels. Then I went to select and down to color range. I clicked on shadow. Then I copied that layer (ctrl j). Then I did the same thing except I clicked on midtones. I had to use the quick select to get ride of the ceiling. Then I merged them together. After that I made a new layer and I filled it with white (ctrl backspace). Then I painted it with the brushes. I went on the side and click on the paint brushes and I messed with the sizes and other stuff until I liked it. Then I add a vector mask and I selected all (ctrl a) copied and pasted (ctrl c and v) it on the mask. Then I clicked inverse under select (ctrl I).  I put a layer between 1 and 2 so some things wouldn’t show. Then I went to FX on the bottom and I went to Gradient Overlay and I picked the rainbow color. That is everything that I did and even though it is not a great picture of me I still like the way it looks and I like how much time it took for me to get done. I will say that I did get a little help from Minkle!!
