Sure. I will see if I can put together a few screen shots of the settings, but for now I will give you a text write up. Essentially you use the line tool. A lot of my images I use a single white line at 22 pixels. I add a tip with a 22 pixel pencil so it has a rounded edge. Once you have that you rasterize the image (just the line and the pencil tip). Duplicate it so you have two saber lines and use a Gaussian Blur on both lines. Make the one on the bottom with a gaussian blur of 3 px for the radius and the top one with 2 pxs radius. Once you have both saber lines blurred like that, then you apply a outerglow through the layer style option. Apply these settings to the outglow on both:

Structure
Layer Style Outer Glow
Blend Mode: Normal
Opacity: 100%
Noise: 0%
Colour: Your Choice
Elements
Technique: Softer
Spread: 0%
Size: 75 px
Quality: Contour (The diagonal contour box)
Range: 63%
Jitter: 0%

Thanks, but I think I'll wait for the tutorial; like how do you rasterize an image? Sorry I'm still a noob at this stuff.

Are you able to find the line tool and change the width of it to 22 pixels? If you can, then all you need to do is go that that layer over on the right, select it, right click, and then click on rasterize in the drop down menu. I want to make a picture tutorial, but the lap top I am using will not let me use the print screen function.
