Hey guys. I suck at photoshop, but find it fun! i was going through these tuts, checking them out, when i stumbled upon something cool. It reminds me of those plastic wind thingys that are like spiral twisted...anyways lets see if i can do a tut that people can follow! (i am probably redundant at times because i honestly am not good at ps, maybe you can answer things for me!)
Heres what I mean:
First off, i started with a square document, 400x400. I created a new layer because the BG is locked, and used the paint bucket to make it black.
Then i got the gradiant tool, set it on the diamond setting, and went from one corner of the document to the center, till I had done all 4.
I then set the gradiant tool to the linear setting and did 2 very short gradiants dragging the mouse horizontally (i dont know how to word it well so heres a pic)
Then I went to Filters>Distort>Twirl and set it to 150
I then created a duplicate layer (Ctrl+J i belive) and went to Edit>Transform>Flip Horizontal
Then on the new layer i set the Blending Layer to Difference.
Well thats basically it, you should have 2 glassy spirals going down your document. I honestly dont know what this could be used for but it looks cool!
Please tell me what you think! :lol:

another cool thing is then find edges, invert, colorize, pick your color and increase lightness!~

Srry i r noob @ photoshop and your tutorial is a little hard to follow but how did you do four different gradients or what did you do?
AgitatedPancake - August 15, 2005 08:38 AM (GMT)
Yes and no. One gradiant from each corner (4), but then i do the 2 to create the vertical effects.
