Hello, I will be teaching you to make a vortex in Photoshop CS3 or CS2.
(Ugh... My comp froze while I was writing this the first time and lost the whole tut, so I'll try again.

First make an image with any proportions. I prefer 1000x1000.
Next pick a primary and a secondary color. You can use anything, and if you don't know what you want, just use White for primary and Black for secondary.
Now go to Layer -> New -> Layer, and press OK.
Then go to Filter -> Render -> Clouds

At this point, I have:
 pic1.jpg ( 120.21k ) Number of downloads: 3


Now go to Filter -> Blur -> Radial Blur, and select these settings:

• Amount: 100
• Blur Method: Zoom
• Quality: Best

At this point, I have:
 pic2.jpg ( 85.7k ) Number of downloads: 1


Now go to Filter -> Pixelate -> Mezzotint, and select Medium Lines
Next go to Filter -> Blur -> Radial Blur, and use the same settings as before.

At this point, I have:
 pic3.jpg ( 201.24k ) Number of downloads: 1


Now go to Filter -> Pixelate -> Mezzotint, and select Fine Dots
Next go to Filter -> Blur -> Radial Blur, and use the same settings as before.

At this point, I have:
 pic4.jpg ( 239.26k ) Number of downloads: 4


Now, you can change the colors and brightness by messing around with the Hue/Saturation.

And here is my finished product:
 fin.jpg ( 222.85k ) Number of downloads: 14

Can you downsize those Images, please.
Some are in excess of 900K which is too large for our Members still on Dial-up.

Thank you.

Nice Tutorial, by the way.

Sorry, I'll downsize the images. And, thanks.

[EDIT] Okay, I downsized the images. Is that better?

Ojkatii, could you please tell me where such a 'Vortex' can be used??
I mean I've never seen something like this!

Well, I'm not really sure where it can be used. I'm using one as a desktop right now. I also made an avatar and sig out of another.

hey

Angad619. In graphic designing it's common that everything that can be used somewhere. Okjati already has given a good example ( a Desktop Background ). IT can be used on any signs too. An Avatar is good too. Even as a part of a sig. But anyway good work okjati hey maybe you should put a small part on ow to change the colors of the vortex for some Photoshop beginners

thank you, its nice tutorial

Really good tutorial keep sharing more and more in adobe photoshop designing which make us easy to learn
Thanks having such a good tutorial.

thank you. I love photoshop tutorials. Learn as you create art itself. You see the results immediately. If you drift away from the tut, you end up with something new!!!
