♥ Lets start~ 

- First choose any pic you liked it colors, I'm going to work on this.



- Resize it as you please, if you want it to be an avatar, signature, wallpaper.. etc.

- Now take the single column marquee tool, or the single row you can right click on the selection tool and you will find it.

 or

- I prefer if you duplicate the layer and start your work, Now after taking the single column marquee tool click anywhere you want, I clicked here because it has alot of colors.



- You will get a single selection line, click Ctrl+T or (Edit > Free transform).



- Drag it to the left and the right.



- In the end you will get something like this.
