70's Retro
Things Needed:
Text Tool
Gaussian Blur
Stroke
Polygonal Marquee
Ok Let's get started. First go to this picture and right click the picture and select “Copy Image”
1.Now go into photoshop and open a new file and the dimensions should automatically be there because you copied the picture. Now in the file hit “Ctrl”+”V” This is a hotkey for the paste action. Now you should have this picture in photoshop. (This is a handy technique that 
can be used on any image) Now if it didn't work properly think back. All you have to do is copy the picture through the internet by right clicking it and selecting “copy image”.
2.Next we select the polygonal marquee(or any other marquee you think is easier). You want to click an outline around the Buddha. Like in example A-1. Once outlined right click (with the marquee tool) on the Buddha and select “Layer Via Cut”. This means that the outlined image will be pasted into another layer. See example A-2
3.Another move we'll make is the “Outer Glow” effect. Once you have you
r Buddha cut and pasted into another layer go to “Layer”-> “Layer Properties”->”Outer Glow”. Then you will be presented with a box with a bunch of options. Just do yours exactly like you see mine in example A-3.( the color is #7acb06)
4.For the finishing touches on the picture are to go around the edges of the Buddha with the blur tool so it doesn't look so pixelized.
5.Last but DEFINETLY not least, the background. This is the simplest part. Go to the layer with the background and simply go to “Filter”->”Blur”->”Gaussian Blur” then use “1.2%” and click ok.
6.Now if you only want to do this with images your done (Hope You Liked It!) But now we'll finish this up with text.
7.Go to your text tool, and click and then type something you like, I used “PS Buddha”. Then goto “Layer”->”Layer Properties”->”Outer Glow” and use the the settings in example A-4
8.Do the same but instead of Outer Glow goto “Stroke” and use the settings in example A-5.
