Ice Tutorial

[tacoX]

This is a great way to create a really cool looking ice effect! It can be used as a background for signatures, desktops, and images.

Step 1

Create a new image, and select the gradient tool (It does not matter what colors used for the gradient)

Step 2

Set the mode to difference on the top toolbar, as shown above.

Step 3

Start going crazy with the gradient effect, moving in all different directions. Should look similar to above.

Step 4

Use the Find Edges filter, shown above

Step 5

Press Ctrl+U (tap CTRL and U at the same time). The above window shows up, use the above settings. You can try experimenting with different colors if you wish.
