Space warp

[Brian]

Hi all, this tutorial is ment for people who have been into photoshop for a few months and want to get some cool backgrounds, so for those of you who are experts I dont recommend picking this tutorial apart, because I made it for beginners.

Ok! Lets start off with opening a document, it can be any size, but I used 500X500.

Step 1: Make sure your foreground and background colors and black and white, doesnt matter in what order though. Then go to filter>render>clouds and you should get someting like this, but it wont be exactly like it:


Step 2: Go to filter>pixelate>mezzotint and use the setting medium strokes and you should get something like this, but remember it wont be exactly the same:


Step 3: Go to filter>blur>radial blur and use the settings:

Ammount: 100

Blur method: Zoom

Quality: Best

And you should get something like this, but it still wont be exactly the same:


Step 4: Now to color this thing, for a cool blue warp effect, press ctrl+u and use the settings:

Hue: 191

Saturation: 25

Lightness: 0

You can mess around with those settings but for the ones I put up there you should get something like this, but remember it will not look exactly the same:


Step 5 (must have a high verson of Photoshop to do this step): This might only work if you have a high verson of Photoshop, I for one am using CS2, also this step doesnt do much, it just makes the effect look smoother. Go to filter>noise>reduce noise and use the settings:

Strenth: 100%

Preserve details: 0%

Reduce color noise: 100%

Sharpen details: 0%

Remove JPEG artifact: Not checked.

And you should get something like this, but not exactly the same:


And there you have it! A slick space warp effect.

Too simple. But at least I used the reduce noise filter for the first time and it does a good job.
