This is my first Adobe Photoshop tutorial just play with blending modes to create Cool light effects on dark background. I used adobe photoshop CS5.
Step01
Lets begin create a file with size 1600px*1000px and set black background “#000000” and type mameara the font used is Oomix
Step02
Create new layer “colors” then select the brush tool with Size:400px and the hardness:0%, choose dark colors for the brush I use this colors: Color 01: #2c0033 – Color 02:#002c33 – Color 03:#313300 – Color 04:#330100
Step03
Open the Layer Style of mameara layer and put the properties as showing here:
Step04
Duplicate mameara Layer and marge it with empty layer.
Step05
Keep selecting the duplicated layer and select Filter > Blur > Motion Blur.
Step06
Transform the duplicated layer keep selecting the layer and hit (Ctrl + T) to transform.
Step07
Change the Blend mode to divide
Step08
Open Filter > Distort > Twirl , and make the Angle 100.
Step09
Transform the shape hit (Ctrl+T) then right click select wrap.
Step10
Duplicate the shape many times.
