I have a picture an it has a banjo shaped light saber in it, I am able to give it a good color to it, but I need to make it glow. Can anyone tell me how to make a glowing effect of a light source? I tryed a few blur filters but I they dont work or I dont know how to use them.

you could select the saber with the polygonal lasso and copy it to another layer, then you can apply a layers style to that other layer, like outer glow and or inner glow!

hope th!s helped!

well if you don't know what they are your missing out on something, you can find them in the little layers window that's always in your way! select the layer you want to affect and click on the little "f" in the black circle, it's all the way to the left of the little layers window, you also can always find it under the drop down menu's, go to >layer> layer styles

also here are some tutorials on layer styles:
