1-Open a 350X120 document, white
2-Pull out your linear gradient, and have the mode on difference, and go crazy with it until you have something like this\/

3-Filter>Stylize>Find Edges
4-Filter>Distort>Wave with these settings \/
SINE
Number Of Generators-13
Wavelength-537, 999
Amplitude-5, 57
Scale-100%, 100%
Repeated Edge Pixels
and you should get something like this\/

5-Layer>Duplicate Layer
6-Edit>Transform> Flip Horizontal
7-Go to the layers and then change the layer style to Exclusion or DIfference, which ever looks the best. I did exclusion. You should get something like this!\/

8-Flatten Image (CRTL+SHIFT+E)
9-Layer>Duplicate Layer
10-Filter>Blur>Radial Blur with these settings\/
Amount-38
Setting-Zoom
Quality-Good
It should look something like this\/

11-Flatten Image (CTRL+SHIFT+E)
12-CTRL+U with Colorize Setting, do what ever color that looks cool to you.
13-Play around with other settings, brushes, duplicating layers, bevel and emboss...
here is my final product after playing wit it...\/

I don't get the part where it says duplicate layer and then flip horizontal.Because when I flipped mine the whole thing just went to the other side instead of one side staying and the other side on the other side.
Pease help, I really want to make this tut. :(
Stephen - January 1, 2005 10:27 AM (GMT)
Did you complete the next step? After you flip it you need to blend it.
The Mad - January 2, 2005 12:58 AM (GMT)
Go to "flip layer". Otherwise it will flip the entire canvas.
Avenger - January 2, 2005 09:56 AM (GMT)
Nice Tutorial I'll have to try it.
MikiMono - January 7, 2005 03:31 AM (GMT)
this is one cs8 isnt it? because i couldnt find the "filter>distort" can anyone explain. mmmm..... maybe you guys should make a how to use the photoshop guide for noobs like me :(
Stephen - January 8, 2005 04:18 AM (GMT)
The menu that goes across the top. (I have Photoshop 7.0)
From left to Right: File Edit Image Layer Select Filter View Window Help.
Select Filer and go down to Distort. I believe CS is the same way.. or I think it was when I tried it out. Hope that helped :)
bob mcsteve - January 8, 2005 01:16 PM (GMT)

-R- - January 9, 2005 02:10 AM (GMT)
Photoshop 8 and CS are the same damned thing.
*Sighs* Newbies...
Stephen - January 9, 2005 03:43 AM (GMT)
THere isn't a real difference between 7.0 and CS, besides I know Austin did this tut in 7.0
MikiMono - January 9, 2005 06:51 PM (GMT)
