Light Beams Photoshop & GIMP Brushes

Category: Brushes | Tags: , , , ,

A set of Photoshop & GIMP brushes composed of various light beams and rays of light. It includes beams like those from spotlights, sunlight like you would see coming through branches, lighthouse light beams, sunburst type effects (full circles as well as half and three quarters of the burst), and even some particles to add to your beams of light to make it look like floating dust.

These are extremely high resolution, averaging about 2250 pixels in size.

Light Beams Brushes

Programs: Photoshop 7+, Photoshop Elements 2+, Gimp 2.2.6+

Random Brush Tip: When making your own Photoshop brushes, everything that’s pure white will come out transparent. Everything that’s black will be a solid color (whatever color you’ve chosen to make your brush stroke with), and all the grays will be semi-transparent. Make sure that you keep that in mind when designing them!

    Wow! I absolutely adore all of your brushes, and the best part is that they’re available to almost all versions of Photoshop!
    These light beams are probably my favourite though; I use them on almost all my work :) It adds a touch of reality to it.

    Thanks!

  7. Here is another photo in flickr that i used these brushes in. Many thanks for sharing. Mary.

    Could someone please tell me how to get this to the point where I can open, and use it? I have Elelments 6.0 and don’t have a clue. I’m actually new to elements.
    I down loaded it but, it says that it cannot open. I know there is more to it than that, but, I don’t know what it is.

  9. Verneitta: If you look in my sidebar, I have a couple links that were made just for you! :) The first one is “Unzipping the File” – which explains how to unzip/extract the ZIP file. The second one is “Installing Brushes,” which explains how… well, how to install the brushes once you have the ZIP file unzipped. It’s made for Photoshop 7, but it should be basically the same in Elements.

    Let me know if you have any further questions, after you check those out!

  20. I have been using your light beams again but this time in a much more suttle way. I used them to illuminate my face without creating any beam affect. It was just what the photo needed. Thankyou for sharing. Here is a link to flickr but I will add it to your stream anyway. Cheers Mary.

  21. Sorry in my excitement to get things done I forgot to add my link. Deeeerrrr.

  30. cookie

    Thanx ^^

    i was looking for brushes like these for a quite a while now

  31. These are probably my favourite brushes of all time. They even beat Annika von Holdt’s magical, unique brush-creations. I used them a gazillion times and each time I work with Photoshop I feel like using them… they stand for light, and light is what keeps us alive. Big thank yous for making these, and for making them completely free, it’s so generous of you.

    Wonderful brushes! I downloaded the Light brushes, I was struggling to create my own gradient ovals for a headlight effect using PS Elements 5. Then thankfully I found your super light brushes. I’ll be using your brushes and giving you credit for them in my blog. This will help me with a detail for my Flash Dev class project I’m working on.

  52. Hello! These look like beautiful brushes, but for some reason my computer won’t load them. :S Anyone else having the same problem?

  53. @Kara: Are you unzipping the file? What version of Photoshop (or GIMP) do you have? Are you putting them into the right folder? Check out my tutorial on installing brushes (in my sidebar), and let me know if you still have any problems! I’d be happy to help you through em, but I need a bit more info. :)
