One way is to draw the particles you want, sparks or whatever. Then clone the layer and add a gaussian blur filter (under blur). Then you can play around with the new, gaussian'ed layers transparency and blend modes.

This way you ought to come up with something.

If you're looking to create the sort of particle effects you see in games, where dense groups of particles add together to form brighter colours, then just use a brush with one of the additive blend modes, like Screen.

Yeah, for volumetric light you want to use additive blending - which actually only exists in PS7 ( as linear dodge ), but screen is similar



I set the spacing of the brush to 60, scatter to 10,000 %. The blend mode is linear dodge
