Hello. This is my first tutorial. If there something lack please let me know so I can fix it and please forgive me if there grammar and language mistake. I do not know if this kind of tutorial have been made but I tried to search for it and I cannot find any so, yeah.
Okay, after a few hours sitting infront of my computer trying to copy photoshop glow beam/light beam by using Paint.NET. I'm successful did it. It's very simple and you can done it in 30-60 seconds.
So, today I'm going to teach you how to make something like this.
Step one : Color your background with dark color like black by using Paint Bucket.
(You will get something like this)
Step two : Make a new layer. Choose white color as your primary color then choose Line / Curve tool with your desired size (Mine is 10). After that draw a line like this.
(You will get something like this)
Step three : Go to Effects > Photo > Glow & set the radius to 20, the brightness to 100, the contrast to 100. Then go to the Layer Properties and change the mode to Glow.
(You will get something like this)
Step four : Make a new layer. Choose your desired color (Mine is yellow) as your primary color then choose Line / Curve tool with three times size bigger than your white line (Mine is 30). After that draw a line like this.
(You will get something like this)
Step five : Go to Effects > Blurs > Gaussian Blur & set the radius to 50 (or something). Then go to the Layer Properties and change the mode to Glow.
(You will get something like this)
Step six : Merge down all the layer and background and you done.
(You will get something like this)
Step 6.1 (If you want to get a brighter result) : Merge down Layer 2 and Layer 3 then duplicate the layer and merge it down with the background. You are done.
Thank you and I hope this will help a lot of people out there.
P.S: I do not have any examples of what else can be done with it from me at the moment but you can look at SAND33P work as example for now. I will add one when I have free time later.
