The insporation for this edit mainly came from how he was holding his bat and the color of the bat. This photo was taken durring the BG Barrington game.
To create the light saber look I began by correcting colors so that the image itself would look good then i moved to the light saber. First I selected and masked only the part of the bat that I wanted to glow then i added a color overlay and an outer glow to make the bat look like a light saber.
