Here is a tutorial on how to make a rainbow using adobe photoshop...hope it helps ya =D all i ask is that you give me a rep+ if you thought this tutorial help you AT ALL...one more thing...PLEASE dont rip this tutorial...THANKS
1. Start with a new document. The dimensions must be square. Make the size a few pixels larger than the width you want for the finished rainbow. I'm using 400x400 pixels.
2. Make a new layer.
3. Make a rectangular selection about twice as tall as you want your rainbow width to be. Make this selection just a few pixels away from the bottom edge of the document, but not touching the bottom edge (see screen shot below).
4. Select the gradient tool, and choose the Spectrum gradient.
5. Hold the Shift key down and click and drag from the bottom edge of the selection marquee to the top edge.
6. Deselect
7. Go to Filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates. Make sure "Rectangular to Polar" is selected. Click the - (minus) button in the filter dialog if you want to preview the effect.
8. Click OK and your document should look like the example here.
9. Optional: Add a slight gaussian blur to the rainbow to soften the edges.
10. Select the bottom half of the rainbow and delete.
11. Deselect.
You now have a rainbow in its own layer which you can copy to another document or save for future use.
