Using the [b]Paint Bucket Tool (G)[/b] fill the new file with black color. [img]http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd105/ann_dan88/TUTs/1-1.jpg[/img] Select the main menu and the selection from here - [b]Filter>Render>Lens Flare[/b], setting the parameters demonstrated next table: [img]http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd105/ann_dan88/TUTs/2-1.jpg[/img] We need to get a kind of luminescence, shown below: [img]http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd105/ann_dan88/TUTs/3-1.jpg[/img] Find the filters' gallery ([b]Filter>Filter Gallery[/b]) choosing the chrome with the next shown parameters: [img]http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd105/ann_dan88/TUTs/4-1.jpg[/img] Next select [b]Filter>Distort>Wave[/b] and press the button demonstrated below: [img]http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd105/ann_dan88/TUTs/5.jpg[/img] We'll get a kind of amphora shape, like the one from the next picture: [img]http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd105/ann_dan88/TUTs/6.jpg[/img] Press then the combination of buttons [b]Ctrl+U[/b] to insert the appropriate color [img]http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd105/ann_dan88/TUTs/7.jpg[/img] We'll get the next picture on this stage: [img]http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd105/ann_dan88/TUTs/8.jpg[/img] Make a copy of the layer [b]Ctrl+J[/b] and then provide the operation with the Wave filter, pressing Randomize button. [img]http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd105/ann_dan88/TUTs/9.jpg[/img] Set the [b]Blending mode-Screen[/b] for this layer: [img]http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd105/ann_dan88/TUTs/10.jpg[/img] Make a copy of the new layer we've got, providing again the same operation. Finally we need to get about 4-5 copies. [img]http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd105/ann_dan88/TUTs/11.jpg[/img] Using the [b]Free Transform option[/b], try to enlarge the new swirl, marking out all the layers. [img]http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd105/ann_dan88/TUTs/12.jpg[/img] Create a new layer and fill it with black color. Select after that [b]Filter>Render>Lens Flare[/b] and set the next demonstrated parameters: [img]http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd105/ann_dan88/TUTs/13.jpg[/img] We need to get the next picture: [img]http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd105/ann_dan88/TUTs/14.jpg[/img] Select again the [b]Free Transform[/b] option to narrow a little the picture by its horizontal line. Place also the black layer as for the new result to be visible [img]http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd105/ann_dan88/TUTs/15.jpg[/img] Make a copy of this layer and turn it over the same way demonstrated below: [img]http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd105/ann_dan88/TUTs/16.jpg[/img] Set the next [b]Blending Mode-Lighten[/b]: [img]http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd105/ann_dan88/TUTs/17.jpg[/img] The layers will be put together the same way you may see next picture: [img]http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd105/ann_dan88/TUTs/18.jpg[/img] Make a copy of the last layer we've got and turn it around to get the star, demonstrated next image: [img]http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd105/ann_dan88/TUTs/19.jpg[/img] Mark out all the layers composing the star and put them together into a single one ([b]Ctrl+E[/b]). Set then the next demonstrated [b]Blending Mode - Screen[/b]. Move off after that the black layer, placing the star on the central part of the picture.
