PhotoShop - Pulse Beam
| This is a cool effect that can be created
in Photoshop. I used PS 7, but it can be done
in any version. Yes I do need to upgrade.
Any way on to the tutorial. |
1) Open a new window, make the size 800x600,
with an background color. Mine will be blackish
blue.
| 2) |
Select the Rectangle Marquee Tool and make
a 1 pixel width line.
Make sure the line is on a seperate layer
then the background. |
3) Go to FILTER > DISTORT > TWIRL and set
the angle to 35. It should look like this.
4) Go to EDIT > TRANSFORM > ROTATE and
rotate it about 30-45 degress.
5) Next go to EDIT > TRANSFORM > Perspective.
Make the top very small and the bottom very large.
| 6) |
Now go to LAYER > LAYER SYTLE > OUTER
GLOW and give it a cool glow.
Heres what I did, but you can choose other
settings. |
7) The final result should look something like
this.
Then you can take this and add it to your next
wallpaper to get something like this.
