[Klas2B 0]

1. Open up a new photoshop document with the measurements of 400x400 pixels with a white background.

 

2. Press D so that the foreground colour is set to black and should set the background colour as white. If this key does not do it then do this manually.

 

3. Now select the Gradient tool from the palette and select "Foreground to Background". and then select "Radial Gradient" which is situated closely to the right.

Now randomly select and drag the gradient across the page

 

4. Now go to Filter > Distort > Twirl and set the angle to around 320 degrees.

 

 

5. Next step is to right click on this layer and select "Duplicate Layer". Now go to Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal. With this done, on the layers tab, select the blending mode to "Overlay".
