Photoshop-ambience And Abstract! PHOTOSHOP-Ambience and Abstract

[adly3000 0]

I've finally made the tutorial my both of my current signature images! I made a poll to see if people wanted me to make it, and seven people said yes, so here you go: Important Note! The outcome of the image depends on the number of lens flares and the positions of them in steps 4 and 5! Ambience: 1. Open Photoshop and creat a new document. Make sure that it is square. Mine is 300x300. 2. Press ctrl + a to select all of the canvas, then right click on it and press fill. Chose black or another dark colour to fill it with, then press ctrl + d to deselect the canvas. 3. Click on Filter -> Render -> Lens Flare and keep the setting default (50-300mm Zoom, Brightness 100%) 4. Place the lens flare in the middle at the top of your image.Posted: Thu Feb 17, 2005 1:06 pm Post subject: My signature tutorials - Ambience and Abstract! 5. Repeat step 3 however many times you like until you end up.You can just use that image if you want to. 6. Press ctrl + u and set the Saturation down to -100 to greyscale the image. 7. Click on Filter -> Pixelate -> Mezzotint and choose Medium Strokes. 8. Then go to Filter -> Blur -> Radial Blur and select Zoom, Best quality and Amount 100. 9. Press ctrl + f twice to repear step 8 twice. 10. Press ctrl + u and tick the box that says Colorize. 11. Choose the settings you want. This changes the colour of the image. I chose Hue 200, Saturation 100 and Lightness 0. 13. Press ctrl + j to copy the layer. 12. Make sure you are on the top layer, then click on Filter -> Distort -> Twirl and set the Angle to 100. 13. Press ctrl + j again to copy the layer we are on. 14. Set the blending mode on the top layer to Lighten. 15. Go to Filter -> Distort -> Twirl and set the angle to -50 this time. There you have it! That is how I made my Ambience signature. All I did was to make a new image that was 300x100 and I copied the 300x300 image onto it and moved it around until I got what I liked! Something Fishy Studios: This just continues from Ambience. 16. Click on the bottom layer then press ctrl + j twice to copy it twice. Make sure that they are all set to Lighten. 17. Click on Filter -> Distort -> Shear and make it look like S letter.Remember to have Repeat Edge Pixels selected. 18. Press ctrl + j do copy the layer, then press Edit -> Transform -> Flip Horizontal. 19. Press ctrl + e to merge the two layers together. 20. Click on Image -> Rotate Canvas -> 90 CCW. 21. Repeat steps 16 -> 19. 22. Go to Image -> Rotate Canvas -> 90 CW. 23. Enjoy!Important Note! The outcome of the image depends on the number of lens flares and the positions of them in steps 4 and 5! If you have any comments or questions about either of the tutorials then please post them here. It took me ages to write these!
