Little Photoshop Question
 

I can't find the what everyone is using for the sparkle/glare effect on text and such. I've checking in the brushes and in PS7 I swear there isn't one. So, is this done with a brush, does anyone got a tutorial, something??? I'm trying to get the effect as easy as possible, that's why I'm thinking about a brush so I can just click a few times and have it done.

I think they're using Lens Flare

they all look like variations of lens flares to me
filter>render>lens flare

You may need to flatten your psd first to have the lens flare effect everything.

Hey you were right the first time.
It is done with a brush...
You need to load the "assorted brushes" to your list... and you'll see there is a sparkle brush, which is just the right size for 'adding that sparkle' to your logos!

assorted brushes? :eek7

That's designer speak. Only us good designers know all the little tricks. But I'll be dammed if I'm going to let everyone in one every little secret.

PhotoShop is so damn easy a monkey could do it. That last thing this industry needs is every person that can apply a filter to call themselves a designer... Oh wait... too late.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh dammn true! I was gonna do a little screenshot of where it was & how to do it, but then i thought, nah fuckit.

the best way is to make your brushes as you like, then you'll have them available with just a click. I suggest you to make them in 2 or 3 different sizes so they render without loss when changing sizes. The lensflare plugin are not what you're looking for, it's brushes (sorry Katsuki and RedShoes :winkwink: )
