Very easy-to-understand tutorial! It took me a while at first to get it the way I wanted it. Now, I keep creating tons of images..different every time! I play around with the settings and colors and different textures!

Thank you so much for this tut. I am still a beginner, but I feel like I am learning so much already!

I've got to say, biorust is the best photshop tutorials resource I've ever found. You even made me sign up.

Oh, and by the way, you can get a really nice effect if you alter the hue and saturation of the lightened layer before the final merge.

Example:

hi when i add 3 lense flares they all end up on top of each other ... how do i space them out like in ur pic ???

[turvas]

You have to reposition them in the lens flare options. Don't just do the quick flare each time, but allways choose lens flare "the long way round". Then you can reposition them and change other options.

I have a question perhaps someone can help me with -

I just upgraded to CS2 after not using adobe products for several years and I've been working this tutorial. Well, I made one design and all went well.

But now - I can't get the render> lens flare to enable. It's grayed out. No matter what I do, it won't activate. All I have done is do the tutorial once and then closed the design I made and opened a new canvas.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
