I want to know how to do those effects, with the light behind the text, but not as an animation - justa still image with the light source in the centre, and a bit better quality. You know what I mean.

I have Illustrator and Photoshop.

Anyone know how?

Cheers.

He wants a static version, but unfortunatley after playing about with it myself, it looses the effect some what and doesn't have the impact of the moving image.

Didn't find it on the rayoflight site, but how could you make that into a Photoshop image anyway? it moves...
Light effects are class though.

Yeah, but I want it at proper Hollywood-quality, with a faint glow, irregular edges like it's coming through thick smoke and stuff.

Render>Lighting Effects won't work to give the result Rob want's, not without getting inot complex masking and burring with the aid of motion blurrs... this effect can be acheived quicer in a vector illustration program especially as he wan't a static equivelent.

Stunning site, that RayOfLight one. In answer to your question, other than actually making it in Flash then doing an export or screen grab on a given frame, I can't immediately think of how to duplicate this in Photoshop.

Did you remove the space from the Flashkit link?

Also, on rayoflight.net, you have to click one of the "summer, winter, etc" links at the top, and you'll see the effect briefly after it's finished.

It's PS7, so probably, yes.

I couldn't see the effect you want from those URLs - the second one to FlashKit didn't work.

What version of Photoshop? Do you have:
Filter > Render > Lighting Effects
