Scratchy Grunge Background

Ok, this is my first tut, tell me what you think.

1. Start a new image on Photoshop Size 400x100

2. Click Filter> Render> Clouds

3. Then click Filter> Sketch> Chrome and keep default settings

4. Now Filter> Artistic> Fresco and keep default settings

5. Then Filter> Render> Fibers and change the settings to: Varience-25, Strength-4.0

And you should end up with something like this

Then if you dont think it looks nice, add some colour or something to jazz it up, personally I like it how it is.

nj. looks like treebark make it lil brownish black =]

It's not a bad tutorial, but you can just render some clouds and then use the fiber filter.... I guess with chrome and fresco you get a little more color variety... o___O;; I don't know where you could use this, but meh..... it's okay :D

You should note that it's CS only

yeah, i know it isnt anything special, but i just stumbeled across it and thought it didnt lok bad and i might as well put it up incase anyone found a use for it

also, if you then emboss it after you have finished, you get a nice rocky effect

thought you would like to know... the previous steps were useless. The last filter does all the effects....

rly fast, rly easy, rly basic :blink:
hmm my first not full positiv post here :o :o

so it only works for cs1 or 2?

doesnt work on ps7 :(
