Cool Background


Description: This is a fun tutorial creating a cool image you can use for backgrounds or wallpaper.

Start a new document. I used 800x800.
Go to Edit->Fill, use: Pattern, select custom pattern and choose this one:

Now go to Filter->Distort->Polar Coordinates
Options: Rectangular to polar.

 

Then apply. Filter->Distort->Pinch, Set amount to 100%

Then Press CTRL+F 3 times to reapply the filter.

Now apply: Filter->Distort->Spherize. Set amount to -100%

Then reapply by pressing CTRL+F about 3 times (its up to you).

You will probably notice the edging near the corners, to remove this, make a selection like the image on the left:

Then go to Select->Inverse

Then go to Filter->Blur->Radial Blur
Amount: 70. Blur Method: Zoom, Quality: Good.

That's it, just apply colors using hue and saturation and use it for your backgrounds/wallpapers.

For a more colourful image, duplicate the layers, invert the colours and change the mode to difference. Makes for a cool sort of trippy effect.
