Photoshop 7.0+

 

Now, for this I assume you have some brushes. If not, be sure to visit Deviant Art.

 

 

 

Step 1.

 

 

First, open up a canvas (Ill be using 400x120 px) and create some clouds.

 

(Filter > Render > Clouds)

 

 

 

Step 2.

 

 

Now, grab a brush and dot about some brushes in black. For this use some random opacity and flow. I use 70% for both.

 

Important: Do not brush on the clouds layer

 

Dot about 5/6 brushes (same or different kinds) for each layer. Ill be using 5 layers, and 1 final layer on top which will have a white brush on it.

 

 

 

Step 3.

 

 

Once you have around 5 layers change the layer's blending properties. I used here; soft light and multiply. But any can be used.

 

 

 

Step 4.

 

 

Add a brightness and contrast layer.

 

(Layer > New adjustment layer > Brightness and contrast)

 

I used 10 brightness and 55 contrast.

 

 

 

Step 5.

 

 

Pretty much the same again. Add a Color balance layer.

 

(Layer > New adjustment layer > Color balance)

 

This time only goto the highlight and set the yellow to -50.

 

ALMOST DONE!

 

 

 

Step 6. A

 

 

Add a simple hue to it. Either by a layer or just CTRL+U the bottom layer (clouds)

 

 

 

Step 6. B

 

 

From step 5, you can follow Magictv's 1337 tutorial.

 

The above was my outcome.

 

I added a border and followed Magictv's advice.

For quick reference:

 

Magictv's 1337 tut.

Good for those who are just starting out in PS, or are using the trial version.

Expecting to see any more tutorials from you?

Eh, perhaps. Im not one to make a tut. :-w
