Ok, the photoshop lense flares sucks, they aren't the tooth paste commercial smile flare shit. This is cheating big time, but who gives a shit? I'm lazy, and i'm assuming you are too.

Here is the secret. Universe Creator. I'm not giving you some whack ass paintbrush tutorial, i'm telling you how to cheat, and get away with kickass results. You can download universe here (its like 800k).

as you can tell, it has a differen't format of lense flare, which i find to kick more ass. it can also make a decent set of stars, if your too lazy to do those. that "so you want to make your own galaxy" tutorial will be useless.

"but whitey, aren't lense flares completely lame?" why yes they are, but if your gonna use them, might as well have good looking ones

"but whitey, isn't using a outside program to make graphics cheating?" kiss my ass hippy!

copy your image to universe, using plain old copy paste, and then add whatever, and copy it back. tada. yeay. boo. lame. look at what i made.
