Creat A Cool Image In Photshop Just something I came up with...

[green fairy 0]

In this tutorial I'll show you how to create a cool image in Photoshop. I don't know what it can be used for, but guessing it would look pretty good as a background Hope someone will like it...

 

1) Open a new document in Photoshop. I will be using 500x500 pixels, but you can use whatever you want. I think it will look better with a big canvas.

 

2) Press D to make the foreground and background colour its default.

 

3) Go to Filter -> Render -> Difference Clouds

 

4) Then go to Filter -> Brush Strokes -> Crosshatch. Apply these settings:

 

5) Now, go to Filter -> Disort -> Twirl. Set the angle to -600.

 

6) Go to Filter -> Blur -> Radial Blur, and use these settings:

 

7) Then go to Filter -> Pixelate -> Fragment.

 

8) Go to Image -> Adjustments -> Auto Contrast.

 

9) Duplicate the layer (Layer -> Duplicate Layer...).

 

10) Selecting the upper layer, go to Filter -> Disort -> Twirl. Set the angle to 600.

 

11) Now, still selecting the upper layer, change the blending mode to Overlay in the Layers window.

 

12) Go to Layer -> Merge Down. My image now looks like this:

 

13) Now, press Ctrl + I to invert the image.

 

14) Press Ctrl + B to make the Colour Balance window pop up. You can use whatever settings you like. I used these settings for my image:

Shadow:

Midtones:

Highlights:

 

Here's my final result:

Click here for original size image.

 

You can change the image's appearence if you want, simply by going Filter -> Disort -> Pinch. Make it 100% to get this result:

Click here for original size image.

Hey, that looks pretty cool. Well done! I would look pretty neat as a backgound or something, as you suggested. I might make one and use it as the background of something...I just have to decide what.

SM, is that a spam post because it's one-liner, and you did not put what needed to be cut off.

 

Anyway, it looks good. There are a bunch of vortex tutorials out there, and they're all quite easy to make.

 

I just got an idea...if Xisto ever gets a lot of tutorials, I could submit it to good-tutorials.com, and we could get more visitors!

As if Trap doesn't get enough traffic as it is! lol. But nice tutorial, that is a pretty popular effect and is very easy to make. It would be nice as a 1024x768 background. (Opens Photoshop )
