First of all open a new document with white background and size 355 / 105
import your render to a new layer , name the layer original and hide the layer
create a new copy of the original layer

here's the render i choosed .....

IPB Image

go to Image > Adjustments > Hue saturation
choose colorize and drag the hue slider to 121

create another copy of the orignal layer

go to Filter > Blur > Radial blur
set amount to 10 , blur method to spin and quality to good

now set the blending mode of the layer to vivid light

go to Image > Adjustments > Hue saturation
choose colorize and drag the hue slider to 80

and you should have something like this ...

create one more copy of the original layer

set the layer blending mode to hue

go to Image > Adjustments > Hue saturation
choose colorize and drag the hue slider to 95

now import your game render right under the top layer

and you should have this ....

select the second copy we made ( the one given blur effect )

go to Filter > Distort > Polar coordinates

do it several times until you are happy with the outcome

Wow this is really cool. I myself use photoshop a lot and i love the hue and saturation tools. Its a lot like playing with the whiteballance in a raw editor for photographs. Lots of fun. biggrin.gif

Generally its not recommended to saturate your render as well as the background, as you end up with a monotone sig, otherwise its a good way for beginners to make a decent sig smile.gif

I was wondering how to get the background renders? I'm not skilled enough to make them, it would be great if someone showed me some resources, or perhaps told me how to make some myself? smile.gif

Thanks for this tutorial. I seriously need a new sig...
