My first tut/begginer lvl/easy/cool

alright guys this is my first tut and im really new to photoshop, i use elements 3.0 so.. here it is, enjoy

Bloodshot background tut

Open up a new file thing, I used 350x140px but you can choose anything you like

dont make it all white like mine, keep it so its CHECKERED

Find maybe two or three really cool abstract c4d designs I only used two.... personally you can use any amount you want it will come out different every time

Paste one into a layer only the ONE you want to show up the most(should probably choose based on simplistic designs, whether or not its bright and how much u like it)

Resize it to your liking make sure it covers up the whole backround thing

Get the other one(s) and paste them in also on new layers

change them to soft light

now it depends on which photoshop version you have, but i have elements 3.0 so its New layer>Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E, but for CS users im pretty sure its Image>apply image

Filter>Guasian blur>4.0px

now you have a funny looking thing, all blurry
heres what mine looked like

It's not horrible, sort of just looks like a splattered fractal abstract lol, maybe look for a little bit of a lighter first layer that is simplistic but nice looking, otherwise, thanks for the post =DD

Nice tut, used this type of background in a sig, very helpful =]

=D I'm glad

Pretty nice and easy tut.

I've never used C4D but this looks interesting.

That's yours?, its pretty good

Nice, it looks pretty cool, I like the gold effect on the splatters

Nice tut, better than I could do.

By the way, sig are looking nice too.
