The link he posted for the brushes does not work any more, but this link:
http://r0man.de/free_photoshop_brushes.html
has brush sets by the same maker as the original, you can pick out of any of them, whichever suits your tastes.
Here’s my creation:

I didn’t follow the tutorial to the letter, especially involving the trail, but I quite liked the outcome.
Thanks for the great tutorial!

A really great effect. I managed to follow it OK, but this is a really REALLY badly written tutorial.

You really need to polish up your writing skills if you are going to continue making tutorials. The instructions are extremely lacking in places. You make too many assumptions about the skill level of your readers. If they knew all the bits of information you are leaving out, then they would be at a skill level where they wouldnt need tutorials to know how to make effects like this!

Hi All,

I’m stuck with step 6. Here’s what i did:

1. opened the photo that i wanted to manipulate. This automatically became my background.

2. I created a new layer and filled it with black.

3. Selecting the background layer (which is the photo), i put the les flare.

After that, i cannot proceed on creating the ‘layer mask’ with the background layer selected as the layer mask option is grayed out.

Please help!

A really nice effect, I think you could add a few more steps in your tutorial to make it easier to follow

Wow..its just to hard, the explanation is to simple (a noob will lost his way) the differences version of photoshop added up the complexity.

And by the way, to whoever managed to apply this effect on photoshop cs2, help me please, i need guidance.
