It really depends on exactly what you want. You could try filter/render/lighting effects. Or you could select the area you want lighted and use a levels layer. Or you could crreate a layer set to "soft light" and paint the area you want lighted with white. - Ken Heronheart -

There are a number of ways to create a spotlight effect, each with its own limitations. Do you want to hightlight an object? (like something on a pedestal...) Do you want to make it look like lights on a painting on a wall? let us know how you want to use the soptliht and i'm sure we can give you some suggestions :) retrocity
