This graphic design pack is filled with 50 different types of glowing light streaks. Available in two different formats, Photoshop Brushes and JPEG images. The images have full color intact as well as larger dimensions making them more versatile. The great thing about the brushes is they have a transparent background. You choose your format or download both of them.
As with all of our resources, personal and commercial use is welcomed and encouraged!
Mini Tutorial – How to Add Color to the Images
1. Open one of the images in Photoshop.
2. Create a New Layer and Fill it with a colorful gradient.
3. Change the layers blending mode to Overlay.
Mini Tutorial – Obtain Maximum Glow with PS Brushes
1. Choose a Brush from our Lighting Effects Brush Pack
2. Create a New Layer and select a very vibrant color.
3. Click once to lay down the pixels of the lighting effect brush.
3. Duplicate the layer and add a Color Overlay of White.
You can then add a Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer to play with the colors.

October 25, 2011 at 2:36 pm
I’m not sure how Jeya created these (though I am guessing these are the real deal done with lights in a dark room and an open shutter) but we do have a tutorial on how to create something similar with Apopysis here: http://mediamilitia.com/how-to-create-vibrant-lighting-effects-from-scratch/. So check it out and see if it helps.

Hey David. Have you loaded these brushes into your Photoshop Brushes Panel yet? All you have to do is use the Brush tool and click one time. Follow the mini tutorial above for an explanation on how to get more vibrant colors.

I get a forbidden error for several different downloads (some do work), you might want to check permissions:
“You don’t have permission to access /{filename.zip} on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”

How do I use these. I download them and they show up as Zip files and I can’t open them.
June 4, 2010 at 8:48 am
You need to unzip the files from the zip file you downloaded. If you are using Windows, check out WinZip or use the built in utility in Windows.
If you are using Max OS X, check out Stuffit Expander. OS X 10.4+ has an unzipping utility built in – it’s called BOMArchiveHelper or Archive Utility.
