Category: Photoshop tutorials > Textures & Tiles - Difficulty:

Step 1

Create a new photoshop document of size 1024*768 with all other attributes in default settings. Lets add come clouds with the foreground color as black and background color set to white (which is default). Choose filters-render clouds. I added clouds 3 times which is not so mandatory. You can do as many times you want. But let the intensity of clouds be more.

Step 2

Now apply gradient map to this by choosing image-adjustments-gradient map and keep the values as given below.

Step 3

The output should now be like the image below.

Lets add come filters effect now. Select the "glowing edges" filter from filters-stylize menu. Select the values in the dialogue box as given below.

Step 4

Apply another filter called "craquelure" from the filters-texture menu with the following values.

Step 5

Your output should be now like this. We are just one step away from the final output.

Now add some radial blur from filters-blur-radial blur. And keep the values as shown below.

Thats it. Just keep this image as your wallpaper and keep staring at the screen. Now if you move forward or backward slowly, check out wat happens. Interesting na. . . . . . keep photoshopping. . . . :-)
