this is an effect we see all too often everywhere, and I've tried to do this both mathematically and not and I can't seem to create decent looking even "sunray" bands (as seen in the beige background here:
how are these things done? Those pretty rays of super bright light behind an object. Been looking for tute but cant find something that can explain step by step.
I'm trying to make an object glow and I want to have small rays of light coming off it. The effect I want is something much like a tirquoid glowing aura surrounding objects of complex shape, similar to the blue glow around characters from Star Wars when they die and come back in ghost form (like Obe-one). I can get the glow effect by selecting the brush tool, setting the size to about 9, setting opacity to 50%, and tracing over the object. What I'd like to do on top of that is create rays of light coming off the object. I don't want them coming off exactly straight or from a central point, but more scattered and random, and not very long either, such that the end effect looks more like fuzz rather than streaks of light. How can I do this?
I work in a dental x-ray clinic. We just purchased a digital x-ray machine. It is important to dentists that the image size is printed one to one. I will probably learn how to make the machine software do it but I'm hoping that this board could help me use Photoshop to do it as well.
The image has a centimetre ruler on it. I dragged the image onto a blank document the size of my paper. I used the Transform box to increase the size until 1 cm on the image's ruler size matches 1 cm on Photoshop's ruler. This is trial and error, though. It took me many size changes until the image was the right size.
I'm using Photoshop 7. Can I use a tool that will allow me to define 1 cm on the image's ruler and then change the size to 1cm according to Photoshop's ruler, thereby changing the whole image's size with it?
I'm trying to create a "blue glow/light rays" around an image of the planet Earth and I can't just seem to make it look realistic like this image here:
How to do this technique? You can find a planet earth image by searching for NASA BLUE MARBLE and it's free.
I'm trying to simulate a light beam, but my rays have such hard edges (especially the one on top). Is there no way of 'fading' them out or blurring them? I tried AA, but that didn't work.

I have been messign with CC Lightrays in After Effects 5.5 and im using it by adding keyframes to lower and up the intensity back and fourth to make it look like the light is moving. My question is though, How can i get it so that the source of the rays is off screen yet fills the screen with its rays? Because the more you drag the source light off screen, the more it makes a cone chape of light. Also, i wanted to know how i can make the rays coming at me when im facing the camera. I have a shot where im looking at the camera and i want it to look like i'm looking into the light rays and i'm also surrounded by it.
I am trying to get some volumetric rays generating from an image. The camera is moving and so they need to exist in 3d space. I tried turning light to rectangle area and adding a rays node but no joy.
To be precise, I mean light rays coming from dj player and if you notice there is blue foggy impression on t shirt , How these things can be made in Corel Draw X4?
I'm trying to assign a motion path to the light rays effect on one of my layers but i can't seem to find a way to do it and google has turned up nothing. the problem is the effect needs to be on a certain layer in order to make the effect look right but i don't want the layer to move i only want to affect the centre point of the effect. i can assign key frames and animate it to move in straight lines but i need it to move in a curve and there seems to be no way to alter the motion path or assign it to one on a null layer.
I dont have it in my custom shapes and was wondering if i would be able to download it from some where.... anybody know where? need the radial blur like in this background.
I am pretty new to Photoshop and I have come across a few things that I would love to do but I cant figure out how to do them. Also, I have elements so I'm not even sure if I can do them. Anyway one of the things I am trying to learn is how to put lines over an image. For example the very first picture on this site: ...
I was wondering how I could duplicate the texture of this gear/star thing? I want to use the same texture for a square shaped frame. I already tryed messing with the bevel and emboss layer style but I didnt get a the matching result that I desired.
My next question is how do I make my own custom bevel and emboss layer style textures?
Remove the screens on the i Phones and then replace them with a custom message using this font (Budmo Jiggler + Jigglish Font | dafont.com) or any cool font. Could you first have "Sign Up" on the first iPhone. Then on the second iPhone a green tick .
After this could you have lower down underneath "Complete Offer" appear. Then again a green tick on the second iPhone. Then lastly "Refer friends" on the first iPhone underneath complete offer. With again a green tick on the second iPhone. Would it also be possible for the outside edges to be glowing or sparkling to attract attention.
Is it possible in Photoshop CS6, to make the tab background go away? I find the background box that you need to work in, gets in my way. I cant see the finder/desktop underneath it like I could in CS5.
I am trying to make a 2d image look 3d in photoshop 6. Specifically, I have a scan of paper cut to look like a piece of chalk. How do I go about making it look like it is an object and not a piece of paper?
i was using Photoshop Cs3 in work and they upgraded all the photoshop versions to CS5 . Now i can't find where i can create a multipage pdf. I was using the pdf tool so often it's important for me.
I just downloaded Photoshop CS6 for the first time I want to make animated GIFs for my blog on Tumblr, gifs that I can easily add my own watermark to, so If they're used, I'll have credit for creating them. I know a gif is a series of moveable pictures, but that's all I know. Any links to how-to articles/simplest information you can give will be extremely useful.
I used to use a plugin in previous versions, but the file formats subdirectory is missing from the plugins directory. Surely this should be possible in CS6 (extended even) straight out of the box given that every web developer on the planet needs to make loads of these.
