    Brush over it and go to layer style>Blending options>There should b a scroll down box that says normal set it to lighten

    In my third eye!
    Also make sure it is in RGB colours. Go to Image>Mode>And if it is on Grayscale change it to RGB Colours and you are done! Have you solved the issue yet?

    instead of brushing you could also do a black and white radial gradient (with the white being the circle at the center) and setting it to screen, if you cant figure how to do it that way out.

    not even that, there are plenty of different ways to do lighting, no need to follow tuts, figure out something on your own, try brushing with different colors, and layer stykles
