So I have been watching a few tutorials today and this was one that I wanted to have ago at but with different image. I watched the whole way through. Closed it down and then did it myself just without looking at the video after.
The Video:
I didn't want to the exact same thing so I just did this and went with the flow.
Before
After
Thanks for reading. I probably have taken what I have watched and have not applied it in the correct way so if that is the case please tell me and recommend me when the best place would be to use this effect. I am only learning.
Any feedback would be appreciated
EDIT: Just realised how cartoony it looks lmao.

You're going for a beam of light, right?
All it looks like you've done here is use curves to bring the lighting up.
If you want the beam you need to use the poly lasso tool to select the area you want,
then apply the curves to it, to bring it out more.
(you can use other tools as well, i.e pen-tool, shape selects, etc..)
If you want the lighting to seem, somewhat,
more realistic, I recommend you use more than one beam (layer them over each other), and add a gaussian blur to both curve layers.
Hope it helps,

Thanks for the feedback. As I look at it now I can definitely see that it doesn't look right. I did use the polylasso tool and did it multiple times with that blur effect but I must have dome it wrong somewhere lol.
I will give it another go tonight. Would you suggest on that same picture make the light white or make the light Orange to match the street light ?
