Hello! I've been messing around with Photoshop lately after a long relationship with Paint.NET and have been trying to learn as much as I could on the software. So for a little tiny noob project I've been working on I needed a supernova, so I Google'd "starburst photoshop" and came up with this excellent tutorial: http://www.entheoswe...urst_effect.asp
Unfortunately, it very much seems that the sample image they included as the finished product hardly matches up with what the tutorial produces (at least in my run-through).
My output:

Their 'output':


Is there some extra filter they added - because they seem radically different...

EDIT: Sorry about the misleading topic - partly solved the problem in the middle of writing this post and forgot to change the title.... O.O

hmmmmm could the original gradient width have something to do with it? In Paint.NET, there is a plugin called Gradient Bars (I believe it's made by BoltBait, not sure, irrelevant) where you can set the width of each linear gradient. Would that have such an effect? Just a thought.

EDIT: No noticeable effect.
