Sounds like you would like to be able to run autoeye mystical lights on CS..I don't think it works.

Ok so you have CS right...How about making a star exactly like you wnat it then turning it into a brush, add some scatter / jitter to it... that could give you something to start with.

Just tried it..it works ok..the black star I made into a brush is on the right.
Then I used it on a brush set to dif. colors...set to scatter and jitter
Duplicated the layer and blurred the stars to give them a glow.

It kinda works,

First make a black star on a white background then go to Edit / define brush preset..name it. delete star.
Now under the brush palette play with shape dynamics and Scattering..
There is also a star in brushes already made..
Good luck,

[bakkerbodri]

thnka you, Lasa! That is useful! I had did flaten the layer then went up to the brush preset but the whole window is not highlighted!!!!
I cannot click on anything!

[bakkerbodri]

I know why I couln't do it!!! First of all, they didnt tell me that I have to click on the Brush tool to get to have the window work..
And then I was wondering why I didn't see the results????

THANK YOU! FOLKS!!!!
Hugs to Lasa!!!
