How do you make cool lazer like lines in photoshop?

I have no idea what im talking about when it comes to photoshop and dont even know if it makes sense what im asking about but i want to make cool lines of light or something. Im not necessarily looking for it to look realistic, maybe more abstract.





Im pretty clueless but i want to make something cool looking out of the cool lines. I realize i probably sound like an idiot.|||try this tutorial:

hope that helps :)|||I haven't used photoshop in a while but here's how I did it to the best of my memory. Create a new layer and add a white line in it. This will represent the "core" of your beam. Add a tiny bit of gaussian blur to make it fuzzy. Duplicate that layer and color it the color you want your beam to be. You might have to mess the blend mode (or whatever it's called in photoshop) so the white will still be somewhat visible underneath. Add slightly more blur this time. Keep repeating this process until the beam looks how you want.
