Stunning Optic Fiber Light Rays Tutorial

Let’s play around a bit by creating a stunning optic fiber inspired light rays background (or pattern, texture, or brush, whichever way you think of it). Just a bit of Photoshop know-how and you’ll be able to do this tutorial in a matter of minutes.

Step 1. Open a new document. Make sure the background is white. It can be any size you wish but for this tutorial, we’ll use 500 x 500 pixels. Make sure your foreground color is black, and your background color is white.

Step 9. Time to put in a bit of color. Each and every person may have his or her own color preferences, so go to EDIT > COLOR BALANCE and just go crazy with the colors. For this tutorial, we’re going for a bright blue tint.

Hint: If you wish to add more colors, you can either blend this with gradients or other colors.

Step 10. The optic fibers seem to be a bit too sharp. Let’s add a bit of soft glow now. Duplicate this layer and go to FILTER > BLUR > GAUSSIAN BLUR. Set it to 2.5

Step 11. Now it’s a little too blurred. In order to fix this, just go to the blurred layer, and change the OPACITY to 50.
