Sorry if this is not the place to post this, just trying to figure out a slick way of accomplishing something like this on my page.

Answer 1

• First create a layer and fill it with your background color.
• create a new layer above the first layer
• in this layer create a circle with the marquee tool then fill it with white
• Ctrl/Cmd + D to deselect the circle.
• make sure the circle layer is still selected, (the circle should not have marching ants around it)
• apply a radial filter (setting about 50 select zoom)
• repeat as desired
• then apply a gaussian blur to the layer, (pretty high setting, play around with it)
• You can then adjust the opacity of the layer as necessary

remember you can use your history view to step back and readjust things as necessary
