Guest Exziz Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 (This tut is for adobe photoshop 7) Open a new document; choose a size, white background and black foreground. Filter>Render>Clouds Filter>Render>Different Clouds Tap Control-F to repeat til one that looks good comes up. Control-I to invert (image>adjustments>invert) Control-L for levels (image>adjustments>levels) -- use these settings: (numbers left to right): 0 - 1,10 - 255 This is a pretty good lightning scene, yes? Control-B for colourize (numbers left to right): 0, 40, 100. (you can choose another color combination, this is the one I use) Repeat this step once more. Control-J to duplicate layer > set blend mode to 'lighten'; Control-E to merge the two layers. Control-J to duplicate layer > set blend mode to 'lightning'; Filter>Disort>Twirl; angle at 200. Control-E to merge the two layers. Control-J to duplicate layer > set blend mode to 'lightning'; Filter>Disort>Twirl; angle at -400. Control-E to merge the two layers. That's it. You can make it some darker by repeating this step: Control-B for colourize (numbers from left to right) 0 40 10. (you can choose another color combination, this is the one I use) This came out for me: http://img26.imageshack.us/my.php?loc=img26&image=1bg1.jpg Feel free to use it as background (1024*768) Feel free to rate :).

Nadril Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 interesting tutorial. This could be of some help in an abstract piece, maybe set it over your abstract, and use layers like overlay and stuff, could turn out nice :D ps: next time have piccies for tut's, always better with them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnySmum Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 I assume by "lightning" you mean "lighten"? It could work well as the base for an abstract - good job 8) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
