Does anyone know how to do some cool stuff in photoshop? If so, post it here and tell us how you did it!

Here is mine - yes im a Photoshop Noob.


(done is Photoshop CS2)
1. Pick 2 Colors
2. Render/Clouds
3. Pixelate/Mezzotint and Choose Medium Lines
4. Blur/Radial Blur and choose a number between 60 and 100.



(done in Photoshop CS2)
1. Pick 2 Colours
2. Render/Clouds
3. Pixelate/Mezzotint and choose Medium Lines
4. Blur/Motion Blur, set to 999.

As you can see, that both of these are the same except for the last step. With the second one, i made a nice brushed metal effect by fiddling around with the colours and Mezzotint and Blur settings.

The second image i thought could be used on my forum (link in Sig)
