[A] Cool Abstract (Photoshop)

[poridicle]

here's the tut(tried to post it tutorial board,but it said ol admins and mods could post)


step1: go to file>new>select whatever sizes you want>ok

step 2:hit d to reset he colors>select the paint bucket tool>fill the entire area with black

it should now be like this:


step3:go to filter>render>lens flare
select these settings:
brightness:100%
lens type:50-300mm zoom

render four lens flares,so it should now be like this:


step 4:go to filter> sketch> chrome
put all the settings on:about half way
it should now be like this:


step5:duplicate the layer and set the blen mode to lighten(there doesn't look like much difference but it will be important in future steps

step6: duplicate the layer(layer 1 copy)another three times.

step7:select layer 1 copy
then go to filter>distort>polar coordinates

select rectangular to polar


step 8:select layer1 copy 3

go to filter>distort>polar coordinates
select polar to rectangular

step 9:select layer1 copy 2
go to filter>distort>polar coordinates
select polar to rectangular

then go to edit>transform rotate 180

step 10:select layer 1 copy
go to filter>distort>wave

use these settings:
no of generators: 5
wavelength:min:10 max:120
amplitude:min:5 max:35

scale:horiz:100% vert:100%
type:sine
undifined areas:repeat edge pixels

click ok
you should now have something that looks like this:


step 11:select each individual layer> press ctrl + u>tick colorize>change the hue,saturation and light ness to what ever you want:

then go to layer>merge visible

finished result:

Interesting effect. I don't particularly like it, but then I got out of making abstracts in PS with filters a long time ago.

Nice job, though.

Very cool. Looks like it came from a rendering program.

[egbakaet :D]

Yeah, my friend told me how to make some really cool looking renders in photoshop alone. I might add them a bit later.
