step by step guide to create an outspace explosion shockwave

1. create a new image 800x300 pixel
2. fill up the layer with black & hide the layer ( named it as black )
3. set foreground to yellow grey (#ffff00). create a new layer & name it as yellow
4. create a rectangular marquee across on the top of the layer & fill with yellow foreground
5. please take note the width of the rectanglar must 800px & width can be anything between 30 - 40 px
