Make three copies of the layer containing the red patch. Apply also the Free Transform selection for the copies’ layers to change their sizes and the positions on the picture. Change also the color of the copies. The copies’ layers should be situated lower than the DJ’s layers (on the layers’ palette).

Create now a new layer that must be placed upper than the rays’ layer, but lower than the DJ’s layers.
Download out of Internet a set of ready to use brushes for Adobe Photoshop, named: Swirls_And_Flowers_Brushes_PS_by_Coby17.
On the new layer we shall apply the brushes of white color.

    I am not quite sure what I just did but, you have to play with the selection/ image and inverse in the color range adjustment step. It turned up as a black burst, then when the color grad is applied it turns out. It was the only way I could get the free transform to act properly. Ill report back after I practice this step again. Thanks of rthe lesson I had been looking for this very technique.
