How To Create A Photoshop Vortex

Recommended Posts

Hello, I will be teaching you to make a vortex in Photoshop CS3 or CS2.

(Ugh... My comp froze while I was writing this the first time and lost the whole tut, so I'll try again.

 

First make an image with any proportions. I prefer 1000x1000.

Next pick a primary and a secondary color. You can use anything, and if you don't know what you want, just use White for primary and Black for secondary.

Now go to Layer -> New -> Layer, and press OK.

Then go to Filter -> Render -> Clouds

 

At this point, I have:

Now go to Filter -> Blur -> Radial Blur, and select these settings:

Amount: 100

Blur Method: Zoom

Quality: Best

At this point, I have:

Now go to Filter -> Pixelate -> Mezzotint, and select Medium Lines

Next go to Filter -> Blur -> Radial Blur, and use the same settings as before.

 

At this point, I have:

Now go to Filter -> Pixelate -> Mezzotint, and select Fine Dots

Next go to Filter -> Blur -> Radial Blur, and use the same settings as before.

 

At this point, I have:

Now, you can change the colors and brightness by messing around with the Hue/Saturation.

 

And here is my finished product:

Tell me if you liked the tutorial. :P

heyAngad619. In graphic designing it's common that everything that can be used somewhere. Okjati already has given a good example ( a Desktop Background ). IT can be used on any signs too. An Avatar is good too. Even as a part of a sig. But anyway good work okjati hey maybe you should put a small part on ow to change the colors of the vortex for some Photoshop beginners

thank you. I love photoshop tutorials. Learn as you create art itself. You see the results immediately. If you drift away from the tut, you end up with something new!!!

Very helpful guide indeed. It's brief, informative, and the step-by-step screenshots really help newbies get a better understanding of it. Thank you for the tutorial, and I hope that I will find some good use for this soon (probably a sig or avatar as was suggested in previous posts).
