![]() ![]() Credits: 210 | [PhotoShop Tutorial] Liquid Abstract This is a tutorial for doing the intense liquid-ish backgrounds that I've been using lately. It only takes about 5 minutes; quick and easy. First, open a new file at any size (I used 500px by 500px for this one) and make the background black. Next use Filter-Render-Lens Flare ... use the default settings and place it anywhere on the image. You can use more than one, I used two. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y55...LenseFlare.jpg The next step is to go to Filter-Sketch-Chrome Use these settings : Detail = 11 , Smoothness = 0 It should look something like this: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y55...ial/Chrome.jpg Now press ctrl+j to duplicate the layer. Set the blending mode to lighten and duplicate the layer at least 4 more times. I used 7 total layers. Select the first duplicated image and go to Filter-Distort-Wave Hit randomize until you get the effect you want. You can do this multiple times with each layer, I did it twice for each. You should get something to the effect of this: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y55...ave_layer1.jpg next proceed to do the random waves on all but the original layer and the last two layers. You should get something like this: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y55...e_finished.jpg Now we'll do a distortion effect on the last two layers just to add a subtle spin effect. Select the second to last layer and go to Filter-Distort-Twirl and use any value. I used 200 for this one. Next go to the last layer and go to Filter-Distort-Twirl and use the same value as before, only negative. I used -200. It should look somewhat like this: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y55...l_finished.jpg Now merge the layers (ctrl+shift+e) and add color (ctrl+u). Make sure you check the colorize button and get whatever color you desire. I went for an icy-blue. Looks like this: ![]() This looks good, but of you want it to be more intense, than there's one more thing you have to do. Go to Filter-Blur-Gaussian and use the default of 3.0px. Now go to Edit-Fade Gaussian and set it to either Overlay or Soft Light. I used soft light and it looks like this: ![]() This should be an easy way to get an awesome intense liquid effect to your designs.
