Comic-book POW!! effects...



I'm sure you've seen this on various cartoons and of course the old Batman show, since they have become a cliche joke in newer cartoons.
I had a need for one of these effects while working for a friend last summer, and thought I would share:

Anyway, here goes...

• Select the Pen tool.
• Add a point with the pen tool, and drag to a point near the center of the shape you want to create.
• Click on another point, and drag to the same point near the center. (All clicks start on the outside and drag to the center)
  
  Repeat this until you get something similar to the following:
  
  
• Rasterize the layer, and fill (Edit|Fill) it with a pastel color.
• Add an inside stroke to the layer (Edit/Stroke, or use the layer styles in PS7+) using a color slightly darker than your fill color.
• Add a drop a shadow if so desired.
