Step 1. Open a new document, make it 800x600pixels and make the background white. Then press D on your keyboard, this will make the colors reset to their default. (black and white)

Step 2. Go to Filter=>Render=>Difference Clouds, press ctrl+F to repeat this step again.

Step 3. Next go to Filter=>Pixelate=>Mezzotint, and use Long Lines

Step 4. Go to Filter=>Blur=>Radial Blur and use the settings shown in the image below:
(make sure you pull the blur center up to the left corner! THIS IS IMPORTANT!)




Here is what I got:




Step 5. Press Ctrl+U from your keyboard to popup your Hue/Saturation window and make it any color you want.
Duplicate the layer (there are many ways you can do this but i just right click the layer and select Duplicate Layer.)

Step 6. Now Select the top layer and go to Edit=>Transform=>Flip Horizontal

Step 7. Change the blend mode to Lighten and you have finished your Cyber Abstract !






(OPTIONAL)

If you wish to go even further for a different design continue to the steps below.

Step 8. Go to your layers box and merge the two layers. This is done by selection your top layer and pressing ctrl+E. Now you should have one layer.

Step 9. Duplicate the layer that you have just merged, now you should be back to two layers.

Step 10. Go to Edit=>Transform=>Flip Vertical. Then change your blending option to Lighten and your finished!

You should get something like this:

nice tutorial too bad i cant do it. my photoshop is expired and i cant find any kind of way to use it so sad i wish people could post macromedia fireworks tutorials because i have that

Thanks for the valueable tutorial. Very interesting indeed.

Great tutorial, nice effect

I tried it and got a nice effect and went experimenting, duplicated again (after another merge) and colorized it elseways differently, then I gave it a color halftone effect, this is what I had



it made it all less pretty tho, looked much nicer before i went experimenting

Thanx guyz for your positive critics >!

Cool tutortial. Will try it sometime.

Wow! That is a really neat effect. I'm going to have to try that out some time. It looks a lot harder when you first see it, but with the steps in your tutorial it shouldn't be too hard. Thanks for sharing that!

Well, to flatter Shimich (hihi!)
I have used the effect on my new site logo (WOO!)

hey, i like it... do u hav more this kind of stuff???
