This is my first tutorial so please, don't get all mad and stuff if I do something wrong.
I'm going to show you how to make this
Or this
It depends on how far you choose to go.
1. Make a new sheet of any size. I chose 800x600.
2. Make a radial gradient with white in the center, like this
3. Effects-Render-Clouds
Scale = 52
Roughness = .84
Blend mode = Reflect
4. Effects-Blurs-Unfocus
Radius = 4
5. Effects-Blurs-Surface Blur
Radius = 100
Threshold = 100
6. Effects-Distort-Bulge -200
7. Effects-Distort-Twist
Amount = 20.48
Size = 2.00
8. Adjustments-Curves-RGB
Now really on this part you can make it any color you want. I went with this:
If you're happy with what you have now, you can stop here. If you think you're up for MORE, keep reading.
8. Layers-Duplicate Layer
9.Make the new layers blend mode Screen
10. Effects-Distort-Twist
Amount = -27.48
Size = 2.00
These next few steps are optional, but I think they make the picture look better.
11. Adjustments-Brightness/Contrast
Brightness = 6
Contrast = 14
12. Effects-Photo-Sharpen 20
Do this 3 times.
13. Go down to the bottom layer and repeat 12
14. Layers-Merge Layer Down
And you're done!
Play around with it and see what you get!
