here's the preview

Spoiler:

first, create a new black document.. and create a blank layer

Spoiler:

on the layer, open blend option and copy the settings below.. use hot red for the outer glow and hot orange for the inner glow..

Spoiler:

open the image u want... the image with a white background is much better.. gwin niung white ung background ng image niu okei? example (PS its lady gaga hehhhe)

Spoiler:

next use the rectangular marquee tool to select the image and den go to edit>define brush preset and save.. now we have a new brush

Spoiler:

now lets go back to the black document

use the brush tool and look for the brush that we defined a while ago.. and start brushing
it must be like this

Spoiler:

now use the magic wand tool and hold ctrl and click it directly on the layer ( not on the image)
and mask it

Spoiler:

after that, duplicate it and select soft light for this layer . on the dupliacte layer trash the mask layer (drag the layer mask down to the trash can, it looks like a trash can anyway) it will ask u to apply the layer mask... click apply then trash also the effcts.... it will now look like this
