The Render/Lighting effect that comes stock with Photoshop 7 is just a round light, no matter which of the 3 options you select.
I have seen photo’s retouched with a 4-point star. You know, it has light streaks that go out from the center – at vertical up and down, and horizontal left and right. It has a special name that escapes me.
Is there a plugin, or even better – a free way to do this?

Is it something similar to this?

Then just go through the brushes set that came with PS, there’s a few star shape in there.

there are at least 5 distinctly different ways to do this, from using a standard brush, to creating a
custom one of your own, to using a mask, to using layer styles, to using a freeware or commercial plugin.

here’s the first freebie I found when I typed
"photoshop flare effect" into Google

there were nearly 7000 other links returned by the search.
