I've been told that the program I use is so different that it's worthless to try and explain what I do to Photoshop users XD

So I cannot be of help =x

Sparkle or shine?

For sparkles, I recommend Obsidian Dawn's free glitter brushes:  http://www.obsidiandawn.com/glitter-photoshop-gimp-brushes

If you need it, they have a tutorial on installing downloaded brushes, here:

Ok, you can download the images themselves as well (the ones used to make the sparkle brushes), and you can use them to make the selection to create your own brush.  Here's a tutorial on making brushes in 6.0:  http://graphicssoft.about.com/cs/photoshop/ht/apscustombrush.htm
