Photoshop Electro plasma Tutorial

photoshop tutorialsCool abstract electro plasma effect. Made in Photoshop CS

1. Open a new file 500x500 pixels

2. Fill background with black

3. Go to Filter > Render > Lens Flare and position 5 Lens Flares, one in each corner and one in the center.

Go to Filter > Sketch > Chrome - use default settings.

4.Duplicate the layer then go to filter > Distort > Wave and click random a few times (on the duplicate layer this is) then click ok and set layers blending mode to 'lighten'

5. Repeat step 4 several times more, each using duplicate layers and lighten all layers, then once done goto Layer > Merge Visable

6. Now goto Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation, tick Colorize then mess about with the settings until you get a colour you like.

Thats pretty much it, you can crop a section to use in a signature or you could create a large abstracty wallpaper with it. Enjoy
