Cool Background

Description: This is a fun tutorial creating a
cool image you can use for backgrounds or wallpaper.
 |
Start a new document. I used
800x800.
Go to Edit->Fill, use: Pattern, select
custom pattern and choose this one:


|
 |
Now go to Filter->Distort->Polar
Coordinates
Options: Rectangular to polar.
|
 |
Then apply. Filter->Distort->Pinch,
Set amount to 100%
Then Press CTRL+F 3 times to reapply the
filter. |
 |
Now apply: Filter->Distort->Spherize.
Set amount to -100%
Then reapply by pressing CTRL+F about 3
times (its up to you). |
 |
You will probably notice the edging near
the corners, to remove this, make a selection like the image
on the left: |
 |
Then go to Select->Inverse
Then go to Filter->Blur->Radial Blur
Amount: 70. Blur Method: Zoom, Quality: Good.
That's it, just apply colors using hue and saturation and
use it for your backgrounds/wallpapers.
