Question about Photoshop

[LouisLivesLife]

Right so I was messing about in photoshop and this is my first attempt on what could be a venue flyer/poster.

Do you guys know a better way to smoothen out the light residu from flares you import into photoshop? This was only a sketch
I kinda gave up because I thought it sucked

Still I'd like to know how to do it for projects in the future

Probably be better asking this in the design and graphics forum.

I'm not sure what you mean by light residue.

If you are getting a square of light this can usually be taken care of several ways:

1. Change your blending mode
2. Change your opacity of the flare layer
3. Mask out what you dont want from the flare with a soft brush
4. Make the flare in a separate document with LOTS of space around it, then import it.
