Tip 01: BACKLIT BEAMS OF LIGHT (Photoshop 6 ONLY !)

Step 1:
Open a new document in RGB mode.
Press letter "d" to reset your foreground color to black, then fill your background layer with black by pressing Alt-Backspace (for PC)

Step 2:
Use Type tool to create your type. It's will appear on its own layer, but it may not be visible because of the black background. To reveal your type, so you can position it where you can, hide the background layer by going to the layers palette and click on the Eye icon in the first column next to the Background layer.

Step 3:
Make the Background layer visible again by clicking in the first column. In the Layers palette, create a new blank layer by clicking on the New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers Palette. Drag this new layer just below your Type layer. Hold the Control key, go to the Layers Palette, and click once on your Type layer to make a selection around your type.

Step 4:
Go under the Select Menu, under Modify, and choose Expand. Enter 5 pixels and click OK. Press the letter "d" then the letter "x" to make white your foreground color. Then press Alt-Backspace to fill your expanded selection with white.

Step 5:
Go under the Filter menu, under Noise, and choose Add Noise. Enter an amount of 400, turn on the Gaussian option and the Monochromatic option, and click OK.

Step 6:
Press Control-D to deselect. Go under the Filter menu, under Blur, and choose Radial Blur. In the Blur dialog box, choose 100 for Amount, Zoom for Blur Method, and Best for Quality. Click OK.

Step 7:
Press Control-L to bring up the Levels dialog box. Press the Tab key once and type in 0.64 in the middle Input Levels field. Press Tab key again, type in 200, and click OK to intensify the effect.

Step 8:
Press Control-F to run the Radial Blur filter again. In the Layers palette, click on your Type layer, go under the Layers Menu, under Layer Style, and choose Outer Glow. Click on the beige color swatch to bring up the Color Picker. Choose white as your glow color and click OK. Change the blend mode to Normal, then click OK in the Outer Glow dialog box.`````

Step 9:
In the Layers palette, click on the Background layer. Go under Filter Menu, under Render, and choose Lens Flare. For Brightness, choose 100;
for Lens Type, choose 105mm Prime. In the Flare Center preview window, drag the cross hair to the center, then click OK. In the Layers palette, click on layer 1 (your beams og light layer), then press Control-F to run the Lens Flare filter on this layer.

Step 10:
Press Control-U to bring up the Hue/Saturation dialog box and click on the Colorize check box. Enter Hue value = 214, Saturation = 41, and click OK to give your beams of light a blue tint to complete the effect.

Optional Step:
Press Cntrol-T to bring up Free Transform. Hold the Control key and drag any handle to distort the beams for some really slick twist on this effect.
