Choose on the same layer the Rectangular Marquee Tool (M) to mark out a half of the same spot and press Delete button.





Choose next step the Free Transform option for the layer with cut spot and press the spot on its horizontal position, stretching it by the vertical position.



Turn it over and place it the same way as below. This layer should be placed lower than the layer containing the X-Men characters:



Set the next indicated parameters for the last made layer: Blending Options>Gradient Overlay



Gradient’s parameters:





Try to draw the same way several more rays, placing them the way demonstrated next picture. The layers don’t need the effects.



Now we’ll hide several parts of the poster on the bottom part of the picture. In this case we’ll select the Rectangle Tool (U).



The layer’s parameters: Fill 0%, Blending Options>Gradient Overlay



Gradient’s parameters:





Make a click on the bottom part of the layers’ panel on the selection from here: Create new fill or adjustment layer>Brightness/Contrast





Take the usual standard brush mentioned above and try to paint the right lowest picture’s corner, choosing the #004F52 color.



Now represent a pattern by creating a new file of 6×6px/72dpi. Use here the Pencil Tool (B) (brush 1 px) of black color. The background is absent.



Edit>Define Pattern
Create one more new file of 640×480px/72dpi which background should be removed. Select then Edit>Fill (the earlier saved pattern). Move this file on our picture. Select Free Transform and press SHIFT button to stretch out the texture on the whole picture.



Make mouse click on the same layer on Add a Mask selection from the bottom part of the layers’ panel and select a standard brush of black color to clean out the whole zone, except the right lowest corner.





Next we’ll represent several rays the same way we did earlier. Create a new layer where we’ll apply the standard brush. Firstly we need to draw a spot of a big diameter, colored with #728359.



Reducing the brush’s diameter, insert a highlight of white color on the central part.
