We are trying to get

Step 1)

Press 'D' to reset your colours, choose linear gradient, uncheck all bozes, black to white, and go crazy.

 

Step 2)Do a wave filter (filter>distort>wave) and hit randomize a few times.

 

Step 3)Press ctrl+j(duplicate layer) and repeat step 2 on the duplicated layer. Set layer belnding mode to lighten.

 

Step 4)Repeat steps 2-3 once.

 

Step 5)Press ctrl+u, check colorize, and change colour!

 

Congratulations, now you're done!

This absolutely reminds me of my most favorite method of creating backgrounds - which is to create a random brush stroke and mess with the filters. I don'texactly get why most professional graphic designers not like using filters for the background. I think it looks greatwhen done right. Unfortunately for me, I don't do well with filters because i can hardly go crazy when I've got grunge or abstract brushes at my disposal. Filters works wonders though....wish i get that talent for that back again... =P

Make your posts on-topic please, we are talking about how to achieve a plasma effect in photoshop. Not how to get the shiny mirror effect in Word.

Make sure you change the mode (on the gradient) to difference first!
