Hello all you talented people!



I know how annoying it must be to get the same questions asked over and
over again, and I apologise now if this is one of them, but I'm driving
myself insane trying to get this effect perfected and I was wondering
if anyone knew of a better way of doing it, or to even let me know if
I'm doing it right - if I am, then I'll just continue practicing it
until it looks right. :)



Anyway, on with the actual question eh?



I was looking at this beautiful batch of icons by lucius_admirer which can be found here,
and this question is regarding 7, 14, 15 & 16 as they all have the
lovely white light effect which I have been trying to perfect now for
quite some time.



I don't think it's a light texture, although I did try that first, but
if it is, I would assume that it's a custom texture of just a white
light? So I wondered if it was just a "white spot" using a simple
paintbrush, and then blurred and set to screen? I have been trying that
method but it still.. Doesn't look right to me. Am I doing it right or
is there a better way of achieving it?



I apologise again for asking a stupid question if it is one, and thankyou so much in advance to anyone who can help me :)



(I also apologise if none of that sounded very clear :P)



I use PSP8 and Photoshop 7 too by the way. :)
