Heya peeps! I recently came across this lil gem here... How to make an orb... out of just a black background using photoshop CS2... So here we go

1) First of all, create a new document. I used the setting 600x600 pics with Resolution 100 and a white background. Fill the background with black and create a new layer.

2)Go to Filter->render->Lens Flare and set it the brightness to 150%. Click OK

3)Now go to Filter->Distort->Polar Coordinates and choose the option "Polar To Rectangular". Click OK

4) Go to Image->rotate canvas->flip canvas vertical and you should have something that looks like this:

5)Go back to Polar Coordinates but this time choose the option "Rectangular to Polar". You now have this:

6) Take your elliptical marquee and put it around the orb. leave some space at the edges though because we don't want all the orb there.

7)Now click select->inverse to select everything else and press delete. And voila... you have this:

And there you go... pretty kewl eh?
