Step-by-Step Editing Tutorial in PicsArt
Step 1: Import Your Image
Open PicsArt and upload your photo. Crop and slightly sharpen the image for a cleaner anime look.
Step 2: Remove the Background
Use Tools → Cutout to remove your background if needed. Clean the edges and save your cutout.
Step 3: Add the Susanoo Aura
Add a Susanoo PNG using Add Photo. Change blend mode to Screen or Lighten and adjust the size so it surrounds your body. Erase any extra overlay around the face.
Step 4: Add Kakashi Lightning Effect
Add lightning PNGs and place them near your hands. Use blend mode Screen and duplicate lightning for stronger energy vibes.
Step 5: Add Particles and Smoke
Search in Stickers for “energy”, “blue smoke”, or “anime glow.” Place them around the hands, body, and background to add depth. Reduce opacity and apply slight Gaussian blur.
Step 6: Apply Color Grading
Go to Adjust and apply these settings:
- Contrast: +20
- Sharpen: +15
- Saturation: +10
- Temperature: -5
- Shadows: -15
Use Colorize for a blue or purple tone with low opacity.
Step 7: Add Background
If you removed your original background, add an anime-style dark background using Add Photo. Apply slight blur for depth.
Step 8: Create Glow Effect
Use the Draw Tool with a soft brush. Choose blue or purple and paint lightly around your body. Reduce opacity to 25–35% for a soft glow.
Step 9: Final Touches
Finish your edit with vignette, HDR, and lens flare. Export in high quality for best results.
Tips to Make Your Reel Viral
- Use trending anime music
- Keep the reel short (4–7 seconds)
- Add smooth zoom and shake effects
- Use captions like “Anime Power Edit | Sasuke x Kakashi Effect”
- Add hashtags like #animeedit #picsartediting #narutoedit
