It's very popular to use light effects to attract eyeballs in pictures or illustrations. In this tutorial you will learn to use simple techniques to make gorgeous light effects that can be used in a variety of situations to add a sense of design.

First step:

First, create a beautiful background. Creates a new PS document with a background fill of black (d→alt+delete). Create a new layer (ctrl+alt+shift+n) and fill it with white (d→ctrl+delete). The following will make a soft gradient effect on this layer using the lighting effects filter (filter) rendering lighting effects. Next to the intensity adjustment, choose any color you like as long as there are some deep colors. For example, I chose dark pink/purple.

Step Two:

Here is a light effect layer, and it will be used to make all light waves. The new layer sets the blending mode to color filter. Then use the Oval selection tool to select a circle selection, and then set 20px to feather the selection (select Modify) (Ctrl+alt+d). This will make the edge of the light more like a halo. I like to use three colors to make a gradient. The first is also the most inside should choose white or close to white color. When filling, make sure to start at the center of the selection and end the selection edge.

Step Three:

Copy the Light effect layer (CTRL+J) you just made to hide the original layer. This layer will then be used to produce more light lines. Now the scaling (edit transformation) (CTRL+T) light effect layer makes it flat. This allows you to control the thickness of the light lines.
