Bended Light Background

[Hayato-Zen]

This is my first tut ever... So dont expect it to be good.

1. First start with a 500x500 window and make the background black.

2.Next add four Lens Flares (Filter-->Render-->Lens Flare) to the top, bottom, left and right of the window. (Just like a compass, North,West,South,East.) (The Lens Flares are 50-300mm Zoom with 100% brightness.)

3.Then Twirl(Filter-->Distort-->Twirl) it 690 degrees.

4. After that use Polar Coordinates (Filter-->Distort-->Polar Coordinates). Make it Rectangular to Polar.

5. After that, Press Ctrl+U and click the colorize box and choose whatever color you decide.

6. Next right click that layer and select "Duplicate Layer".

7. Next use Polar Coordinates and set to Polar to Rectangular.

8. Then Press Ctrl+U and pick a different color of your choice.

9. Set the layer to "Lighten"

10. Merge Down (Ctrl+E)

11. Then Make a new layer, not a Duplicate. (Shift+Ctrl+N)

12.Repeat Steps 2-10. (Remember now that you have to set all the layers to "Lighten".

In the End it should look like this of somesort.
