Adobe Photoshop Tutorials - Part 2 of 5

Create shape and duplicate

First you create a triangular shape. You can select a triangle from the Custom Shape palette and flip it upside down (Edit > Transform > Flip Vertically). Duplicate this shape layer using command/control + J. Now hit command/control + T (Edit > Free Transform) to rotate this shape. First move the middle point down to towards the center.

Duplicate and transform again

Now put your cursor outside the shape so you see the curved rotate cursor and rotate the shape as shown in the example below and press enter. Duplicate the layer again by pressing command/control + J and transform again by pressing command/control shift + T. Repeat this till you have a complete ray. Just press command/control + J followed by command/control shift + T.

Add color

Now you can give each Shape Layer a different color.

My end result

I decided not to use the different colors and ended up with a totally other result. I hope you don’t mind I wasn’t in a flashy mood :)
