Dark Grunge Tutorial

[IndoSilver]

1. First open a new document, it doesn't matter what size (i recomend a big size)

2. Create a gradient (like this one)


3. Then create three lens flares, there is a 35mm flare in the upper left corner (its hard to see)


4. Next you hit Filter>Artistic>Plastic Wrap, and use these settings


5. Then Filter>Stylize>Glowing Edges, and use these settings


6. Then Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation, and use these settings


7. Next you duplicate the layer

8. Then put the second layer on Screen


9. There you have your image, it should look something like this,


you can also play with the position of the lens flare or you can use rastercized text and you can make some sweet stuff

Hope you like it!

Did you have ultra-low resolution when you created your image? It should be set at 72 when you create your new image.

thanks for the feedback guys, if your image looks a little rough it's because my image is very small, since the image hosting service won't take large pics :-)
or maybe your res is different like taco said ;-)
