Fairy Dust
Written by: tEamXtreme
Level: Beginner
Program: Photoshop 7 or CS
This tutorial is a great way to give your pictures a shiny "pixie dust" effect.

Step 1
Make a new image, or open an existing one.

Step 2
Select the Brush Tool (B), and open the Brush Menu (Windows > Brushes).
Select a brush (I used a size 31 air brush in this tutorial).
Select the spacing for your brush as well (4-50% is recommended. I used 25% in this tutorial.)

Step 3
Click the "Shape Dynamics" tab on the Brush Menu.
Move the Size Jitter slider all the way up to 100%.
You can also edit the other settings if you want.

Step 4
Open the "Scattering" tab on the Brush Menu.
Move the Scatter slider to somewhere around 400%.
You can also move the 'Count' slider for different effects.

Step 5
Now that your brush is ready, either start drawing, or make a new layer (for drawing on an already exsting picture).
To make a new layer, hit Shift+Ctrl+N or click Layer->New Layer.
Now you can draw the "pixie dust" wherever you want.
When you're done, go to Blending Options and select 'Outer Glow'.
The settings I used:

Here's the pixie dust added to a picture of Zero:
