Thanks for this! On a big picture, it's not as effective, but I used it on mine kind of like a small light ray up in the corner. :3 Works very nicely.

Sorry for that. I made these when I was around 13...

I love the results, bu there are a couple problems. My canvas is 3600 by 3000, and this doesn't work at all on something so big xD. Also, the ripple effect will only give you the right directional strokes if you have your ray coming from the top left corner. From anywhere else in the image, it doesn't work. Next time I have a small image that needs rays though I'll be sure to use this technique! Thanks for sharing

I'm sorry that it doesn't work on such a big canvas >.<
It doesn't matter much which direction the ripple effect goes, I believe. In step 7 radial blur, in the blur center box, you can move the center around so it should work from any corner as well as the center. I hope this helped ^^

It seems to be more smooth if the ripple is going in the direction of the blur (I tried both ways), but both look fine. If anyone else has this problem, I used a noise type radial gradient as a staring point and used a few blur filters. If you're curious, I can link the results when I'm done
