weird spinning firey paper vortex

Ok, hello everybody, yes I know I am a noob, but I can make some pretty good stuff in photoshop. this is a little long tutorial, so don't do this if your parents keep on nagging you to take out the trash or something :lol: . this is just one of mine that a couple of people told me to make a thread about on some photoshop tutorial forums, so I chose this one, being there are some pretty good tutorials on here ^_^ anyways, first off,
1. size 1000X1000

2.set the gradient to foreground and background, with the normal linear gradient, and press "D" to reset the color palet thingie. Then go super crazy with it, some big, some small. pay specific attention to any sides but not too much. once you are somewhat happy with it, do the following in this order. and no you do not have to make any new layers.

once you are done with that, sorry no image......stupid...photobucket and imageshack... anyways I hoped you liked it for a firsty by me

oh and tell me if you like it at all...

Please include atleast a picture of the final result so people don't go through all that and it turns out something that they don't like.

You need more information/pictures. Mine turned out to look like a swirly pile of crap.

Lmao, Nice Apathy

yeah sorry about that I made it 1000 by 1000 so imageshack and photobucket wouldn't load it up and it took too long because of my internet connection..dial-up... sorry about that... not my fault...parents don't want to get cable because they say it would be too fast for them and they are used to dial up... I don't even get that...

Too fast? For internet, there is never a "Too fast"

Tell them that, see what they say :D

They are pretty damn silly :lol:
Ill try it if you get pics...

u need pics! even tho it didnt werk, figure out a way! :blink:

nice tut

hahaha people didnt seem to like it&#33; lol

Here is my outcome. I think I liked it. But I think you forgot to specify on the first step that you must set the gradient tool to difference mode.

Correct me if I am wrong.

LoL its not very nice on a Signature.. maybe u must create a new layer en set it on soft light / screen.. and then brush a little bit over it.. then its nicer I think..

does this guy ever say anything else other than, "nice tut".

not too crazy about what others have posted as far as what they came out with. i like it better as the thumbnail pic as opposed to full size.

I think that if you are a newer user to Photoshop then you need to be a little more specific, with the tutorial.

Anyways ok tutorial...

wow good thing you added that picture.... I dont like the outcome at all.

but the tutorial is very well put together.

Nice tutorial don&#39;t think i&#39;ll use though :)

looks cool

i dont like it sorry
