Dear all,

Thanks for helping me to explain everything about Photoshop in a very professional and friendly way, I really appreciate everyone here, especially Admin Members, therefore I hope you guys would help me to explain the way of making this "shout" burble or sharp edged circle such like in the pictures.

Thanks and take care,
 
Go to your Shape Tools and select the CUSTOM SHAPE TOOL.

Thanks for your really friendly advice, by the way, could you tell me the way of making the sharp edged circle from nothing ? because I have searched on Google and Youtube as well, but there is nothing that match what I need.

Thanks and take care,
 
Why not just use this?
That's the same as your example isn't it?

If you need more 'points' then duplicate the shape on another layer and rotate it.

If that doesn't work for you then you could use a 'Star' shape, duplicate it a few times and rotate each one accordingly to give you a 'circle' of points.

The links Sam gave you have many variations of a 'pointed' circle as in your example.......how can none of them meet your requirements?

Regards.

Tom is right. It's a matter of finding the correct Ps custom shapes you would like to use.
Here is a link to yet another fantastic source of Custom shapes: http://www.deviantart.com/?q=Photoshop+Custom+shapes&offset=30

Here is a quick rundown of how its done.

Find a shape that you like and create it using the same technique I described in the previous tutorial.
Make it the color you desire.

Open a layer style and add a gradient overlay. Reverse the gradient and lower it's opacity.

Next, find the shape you would like to use for the inner effect.
On a new layer, create the shape inside the outer shape. It does not matter what color it is as we are only using it as a template.
name the layer inner template and turn the layer off.

Next create a new layer. Command/Control + mouse click the inner template layers thumbnail to create the following selection.

Choose your Gradient Tool, select the foreground to transparent preset from the gradient editor.
Set your foreground color to white.
Create a linear gradient going from top to bottom on the upper half of the selected area.
When your done hit Command/Control + D to deselect.

Still working on the same layer, use your Elliptical Marquee Tool to create an ellipse looking something like the following.....

Then hit Shift + Command/Control + I to invert the selection.
You should now have a set of marching ants on the edge of the canvas as well as the original selection.

Hit delete on your keyboard.
Hit Command/Control + D to deselect.

Lower the opacity to about 60%. Your done.
It should now look like this.......

Good luck!
