Spirit Dove in photoshop

In this tutorial, we are going to create a dove like spirit bursting out of a woman's body amidst the cloudy sky. This tutorial uses a basic filter of glowing edge to create those shiny outlines engulfing the objects.

Start off with a basic black background, and have all of the elements nicely masked of its background. Place it accordingly.

Hide the dove for now as we will be focusing on the woman. Since we will be needing multiple instances of the woman layer, duplicate it a few times.
