Okay, let's start!
1. Open up your image in Photoshop. I'm using this picture of the beautiful Indian actress Trisha -

2. Go to Image > Adjustments > Black & White > OK . This will turn your image into a black & white picture –


3. Now we'll add some lights! Make a new layer. Select your gradient tool and select this color – #05edfc. In your gradient tool bar, choose Radial Gradient and from the drop down menu, select Foreground to Transparent gradient –


And drag from the bottom –

Set the layer's Blend Mode to Screen. And name this layer 'Blue'.

4. Make a new layer again. Select this color – #fc05dc. And add a light with this color again on the top -

Set the layer's Blend Mode to Screen. Name this layer 'Pink'.
5. Make a new again and finally, do the same effect using this color – #fcf905. Name the layer 'Yellow'.

Set the Blend Mode to Color Burn.
6. Now we'll add a pattern to our image. Go here and download the First Set of Patterns there. Load the patterns in your Photoshop.
Next, make a new layer and fill it with Black ( Edit > Fill > Black ). Make sure this layer is below the lights and above the actual image layer. Right click on this layer and choose Pattern Overlay and apply these settings –

And set the Fill to 0%.

6. Now we'll add some sparkles. Select White as your foreground color. Choose the Brush Tool and choose any soft rounded brush. Go to Window > Brushes and apply these settings –



And apply this brush on your image –

7. Now we'll make something new here. Make a new layer. Choose your Elliptical Marquee tool –

And draw a circle on the image. Make your foreground color to White and select your Gradient Tool and choose Linear Gradient –

Click and drag inside your selection. Lower the Opacity to 32%.

Make a new layer and make another circle, somewhere close to the first circle and repeat step 7. Lower the Opacity to 28%.

8. Now repeat step 7 but make smaller circles and fill it with the gradient. Lower the Opacity to 32%. And make sure you do this in a new layer.
Optional -
You can make a new layer and add more sparkles so it will look a little more bright. :D
And this is how I arranged my layers –

9. Now you're done! Go to Layer > Flatten. And save your cute image!

Hope you enjoyed this tut! :P
