Right, cheers PasElder son (artist) has commission to paint a mural on the disco wall of a local pub, which will sometimes be lit by blacklight or UV. He wants to scan photos of his line drawings and sketches into Photoshop and apply some kind of an effect which will reveal what the might look like under such lighting conditions.... if you see what I mean

may be simpler (better) waysbut i'd do two layers, one of which was the "UV" layer, the other the normal, and just play about with the light levels on the two layers.

sorry I was late getting backyeah seems pretty simple. Have a layer over the top, fill it with black and change to screen mode ( black and screen make for much better glints and lights )
make selections of the 'light' with a suitable feather then fill with the colour you need, add a diffuse blur. Then use the layer properties to add glow to it playing with the colours. Do each one on a separate layer so you can alter the strengths to give depth. if they still look flat you can run a soft airbrush in dodge mode down the centre of the lights to change the values a little.
If you have any problem at all making it look good enough then please don't hesitate to send me the files with some colour instruction and I'd be happy to provide my interpretation of it. It sounds important enough to get right.
