Very slight differences, I like this one a bit more than the pixel blast - looks a lot cleaner.

Cool , member only hey? :P Will all of the best tuts be put in here with more 'secretive' methods ?Hehe

They may not be the best in here, but there will be some that only the leet members get access to =).

well if u could create a simple border it was going to be perfect also it is good if u going to create it at 400x100 for sig... ;)

very nice job dude .i will try to do it late.thanks for the tut
and i agrre with platonikos to create a 400.100 image and put it as your sig.it will be nice

hmm... dosent this look a little like my galaxy tutorial!?!? help! i didnt rip !!!! lol...

Looks nice , but I allready knew this :P

anyone feels like increasing the minimum no. of posts? coz i find that really, some people juz go to the introductions and for each pple they see, they say hi. then they say bye. And they have 10 posts... so maybe ya can increase it a little

Love this, makes a very nice back.
took me ages to find the tranform/flip though..I am proficient in PSP but photoshop is new to me and all the settings are different.lol

Very cool but I see tuts like that all over.

Nice and simple, thanks for the tutorial! :)

A silly question though: How do I flip just one single layer? When I go to 'Rotate Canvas > Flip Vertical' it flips both layers, so how do I flip just one?

Alice, If you select the layer you can go to.
Edit >> Transform >> Rotate (???) or Flip (???)

Also I have annother Step for this tutorial.

You Can Duplicate the layer and go to.

Filter >> Distort >> Twirl set it to about 100

Then with the next layer do the same but set it to - 100

Set the top layer to lighten.

You get a nice vortaly effect

My result.
