How To - Vector Sun Burst ImageCreating a basic vector sun burst image in PhotoShop can be as easy as manipulating a standard PhotoShop shape. This tutorial will take you through the steps of adding a PhotoShop flower shape, increasing its size 200%-300%, then moving the inside petal points to the same point in the center of your image. When creating this tutorial I used PhotoShop CS5, but these same steps can be used in older (and I assume future) versions of PhotoShop. Want to see more how to tutorials?

Step 1: Add a flower or star to new document.
Open a new PhotoShop file (File > New). Then create a star or flower in the middle of your document. Make sure that when you are creating the flower or star image, that you are using the "shape layers" option.

Step 2: Increase the size of your shape.
Use the "Direct Selection Tool (A)" and increase the size of your flower or star to 200%-300% its original size. It should stretch off the main area.

Step 3: Select a specific point to move.
Use the "Direct Selection Tool (A)" and select one of the inside points to move. This will select all the points on your image. Then go to Edit > Free Transform Points.

Step 4: Move inside points to middle.
Grab and hold one of the inside points with the "Direct Selection Tool (A)" and move it to the center of your object. Repeat this process until all inside points have been moved to the center.
