How Do You Make a Laser Beam in Photoshop?

Lasers are fascinating things. They can be used for all sorts of things, from burning through metal to reading barcodes. But how do you make a laser beam in Photoshop?

The first step is to create a new layer. Then, using the pen tool, draw a line from one side of the layer to the other. The line doesn’t have to be perfectly straight – it can be wavy or curved, as long as it’s more or less in a straight line.

Next, select the layer and go to Layer > Layer Style > Stroke. In the stroke options, set the size to 5px and the position to Inside. Then click OK.

Now go to Filter > Render > Lens Flare. In the lens flare options, choose 50-300mm Zoom from the drop-down menu and click OK.
