red circle.jpg

I really want to know how to do the line in the red circle. I try searching on google and youtube and its doesn't come up with nothing.
The closet thing i got is "how to make flare on photoshop" but that is not what i looking for.
so if you guy got any solution please feel free to share. Thank you by the way
 
Create center guides.
Create one of the "spokes" with the a Shape Tool with it's end in the center. I used the Pen Tool.
Duplicate the "spoke" one time. (Cmd/Cntrl + J)
Enter Free transform. Set the center pivot of the transform box to the bottom so that it pivot around the center of the document. Rotate 5 to 8 degrees. Hit enter.

Now hold Shift + Option/Alt + Command/Control and hit the T key................this may take up to 70+ hits.
Select all layers.
Hit Cmd/Cntrl + E to merge.

Note: If you don't want to have all those layers, just make a selection of the second "spoke" (Cmd/Cntrl + click the layers thumbnail) then
hold Shift + Option/Alt + Command/Control and hit the T key. Cmd/Cntrl + D to deselect.

If it needs to be oval (or any other shape), just use free transform to move the R and L sides in. Hold the Opt/Alt key to move both sides simultaneously.

You can then reverse the color using Cmd/Cntrl + I to invert.

Not a problem!

If you have any questions or problems with the technique, just ask away.
 
Well, the process or technique to create it is called step and repeat.

As for the shape, maybe a multi pointed star shape.
 
There is another way to make a multi-pointed star. You have less control over the spines but it is an option.

Choose your Polygon Tool
Set to fill, stroke off.
Choose the gear Icon, set to smooth corners, set to star, and indent side to 75%

Set your sides to about 70, you may have to experiment a bit.
Then it's just a matter of click and drag.

If you turn off the "smooth Corners" you can make many variations of the star. You are however, limited to sharp, skinny points.
This involves using the Direct Selection Tool and selecting the inner points and using the "Transform Points" option from the edit menu or right clicking.

My PS must be the cheap version then as I don't have the 'Knowledge and Practice' plugin installed.

Do you have a download link?

Yeah, I find that this LINK contains a fairly large amount of knowledge and experience...........don't know about a plug-in though.
