Hi! This is my first tutorial, but I think that it looks great. I`m still happy that I could make something like this. It`s simple and wonder that maybe I have seen something like this somewhere else, but I`m pretty sure that this is not ripped-off. Only the beginning is from another very simple tutorial that is posted here.
So, let`s start.
1. Make new document, white with all default settings, I made mine 1024x768 because I wanted to make a wallpaper.
2. filter>render>clouds
3. filter>render>difference clouds
4. ctrl+I to invert
5. ctrl+L for levels and set to 0 0,10 255
6. ctrl+U, click colorize, Hue 250, Saturation 75, Lightness 0
7. Duplicate the layer.
8. Now go to Filter>Distort>Twirl set to 500 (do this with the top layer)
9. For bottom layer do the same, but with settings -500 (minus 500)
10. Now set blend mode to Darken for the top layer.
And it`s done!
Here`s my final result:Lightning Twirl
You can add text in the middle, I did that to make wallpaper for my WinXP Here
I used some blending options for text. Go on - experiment! Or use some of the text tutorials here.
