Hi guys,
 
I once saw this effect tutorial somewhere and I think it was very simple to make. But now when I try to make it I cannot remember how to achieve this.

I am talking about the grey and white light rays effect that is coming out of the sun.

Anyone can help me in this?  

Never mind Guys...! got it..by hit and trial myself!

And this is how you can make it.

1. create any document
2. fill the background with any color
3. make a long square selection in on different layer
4. copy that long square selection different times on the same layer
5. now go to Filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates
6. choose rectangular to polar
7. Done and here is the result.  

Nice and thanks for sharing

You are welcome Disko.  

Nice and thanks !

If you want your work looks like the first pictures you canadd a radial gradient at the center of the picture like the first pictures no?

Nice work

Thanks for the comment X-Dranka.  

Here is with the gradient

and here is with the gradient and a little twirl.

i don`t know how to make these steps.... a little help please...

1. make a new layer

2. make a selection like in the screenshot.

3. fill it with white or whatever color

4. dont loose the selection

5. press shift and use arrow keys to shift the selection to the right

6. fill with white again

7. repeat this until you have white lines all over your document

8. done

thank you very much... didn`t quite got it... btw nice effect...:wink:

what did you not understand. i might be able to explain.

at first i didn`t understand... now that u have put the explication i do... i`ve tried it... didn`t got what i wanted and i just let i go...
thx... u should make a tutorial... try to improve the effect somehow and make a tutorial

i dont know what do you trying to tell , cellblade.  

when i first saw the topic... and read it... i didn`t understand those steps... after u posted the explication... i did... and now i understand everything... sorry if i confused you...

i am glad you got the concept.  

here is a sample of how can you use this effect.  

very nice... how did you manage to overlap one stripe?... and how did you make them start from one corner?

i did not make it from the corner. i made a large one and cut in one fourth..shifted to corner and that is it.

and one the girls leg, the overlap is just the eraser tool.  

i thought you did some pretty complicated stuff... but to be that easy... makes me more amazed about the tricks you can do in photoshop...

with photoshop, your imagination can be very useful.  

Nice effect Nagaya , very useful indeed .

Thank you ASHAR.  

I am sure you can come with more variants out of this effect.
