Here are the steps written out.

• Find a baby picture. It will be simpler if the baby is looking off to the side and is NOT on a white background.
• Create a new layer above the baby pic.
• Using the polygon lasso tool, draw a laser shape, starting at the pupil. I like to flare the beam out to give it some perspective.
• Once you have the shape with the dancing ants, fill with white.
• Double click on the layer to bring up the Layer Style box.
• Choose “Outer glow” and change the color to bright red or your color of choice.
• Increase the size of the outer glow until it looks glowy enough.
• If it looks too sharp, add a slight gaussian blur. Usually 1 or less.
• If it does not look glowy enough, duplicate the layer.

That’s the basic technique. Some babies can get more complicated and require more improvising. So if you get frustrated, you might try a different baby pic for better results.
