If you want to connect with friends or meet new people on a social networking site such as Facebook, you should look best on your profile picture because it is the first thing people will look at. Remember, first impression lasts!

The good news is that you don’t have to go to a professional photographer or use a portrait lens and spend a lot of money for your profile picture. Now you can pick any photo of yours and easily turn it into a marvelous (oh yeah!) profile picture.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to improve your Facebook profile picture using diffuse glow effect in Photoshop. This is pretty simple to do. Just follow the 7 simple steps.
