I've seen some very nice images mixing photos with light effects and sparks. If you go to flickr in those Photoshop and Graphic Design groups you will see images with this effect. There's a designer, I think he's Brazilian, who has some amazing designs using this style, his name is Leandro Demetrius and it's really worth checking his work out. Pretty neat but not neat enough. Today I'm going to show you a brush already living inside Photoshop proved to be perfect for the sparkle job, plus I'll show you how to spin and fade each sparkle individually. Let's get started! The following tutorial will teach you how to create the sparkle effect like the one on my sig using the basic brushes that come with photoshop. Now with a few brush present we can do that sparkling stars effect you saw in the upper examples. Open the Brushes Palette and let's start: from the Brush Presets select our star brush we just created (it's the last brush on the menu), then from the Brush Tip Shape set the Spacing to 250%-350%, from the Shape Dynamics set the Size Jitter to 40%-60%, Minimum Diameter to 25%-35% and Angle Jitter to 35%-65%, leaving the rest of the options default, and in the end from the Scattering option set the Scatter to 450%-550% and Count to 2 or 3. For a better understanding, you have 3 print screens of what these presets should look like.
1- Open a new document, and create a text. Keep it selected. After you do that, press CTRL + C to copy it (macintosh: command + C) and then deselect the text after you copy it. Now go to Filter>Distort>Glass and use these settings: Distortion:20, Smoothness:1, Texture: Tiny Lens, Scaling: 50-70%.
