    Step 1:Open up the sig/wall you are working on.[​IMG]Step 2:Take the pen tool and make any shape you like selected with some sort of light color. I choose a horizontally stretched out diamond shape.[​IMG]Step 3:Then go to Filter - Blur - Gaussian Blur (click OK to rasterize) - and choose about 2.5 (but you choose blur it more if needed)[​IMG]Step 4:Set the diamond layer to Overlay. Remember you can tinker with the opacity setting. Whatever fits for you. [​IMG]Step 5:Duplicate the layer as many times as you need to your liking. I went with 3 dups here, which brought it to a total of 4. Finished Product:[​IMG]

    Or you could just use the line gradient and erase it with the feathered circle brush but I gues this is more precise. Nice tut.
