<br />
What you'll need:<br />
•A picture of Paris, which you can find <a href="http://www.world-wallpaper.com/wallpaper/eiffel-tower-paris-evening_w43.html" target="_blank">here</a><br />
<br />
Lets begin!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Step One: </span>Set up that document</b><br />
Create a new document with a size of 1000x500px and fill the background with black.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFmkAoLWNj6iRNikkX1JxQQCa9PVpKxTG_29fwsR645dtPIeaihfktieZgwltEAvXGzVuR90ls9NzIrEjp-yrNzlopbjbxwER6lgnS8ZyEfNEtqj4e9u_hwr7fzk0v6r93On8jr-0m_8AL/s1600/1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFmkAoLWNj6iRNikkX1JxQQCa9PVpKxTG_29fwsR645dtPIeaihfktieZgwltEAvXGzVuR90ls9NzIrEjp-yrNzlopbjbxwER6lgnS8ZyEfNEtqj4e9u_hwr7fzk0v6r93On8jr-0m_8AL/s320/1.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Step Two: </span>Throw some text in there</b><br />
Using the Text Tool, put some letters on the board in white, I used the word PARIS, because who doesn't love Paris? You also want to make this a bold font so we can see as much of the picture as possible, I chose Impact as my font at a size of 350px.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0MD-1eTx_nCT16mD4CT8WPmDA1eXVcZmfR7e4XFfeCD3FsbIamVBEHJnGqbKNcUJScFkxq_TqLRRg7CCr1igZmu-lxOJzXHJwT9GKz33PK1SHSKH42CwiZEFpximd4WUjlWwwT40eF2bN/s1600/2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0MD-1eTx_nCT16mD4CT8WPmDA1eXVcZmfR7e4XFfeCD3FsbIamVBEHJnGqbKNcUJScFkxq_TqLRRg7CCr1igZmu-lxOJzXHJwT9GKz33PK1SHSKH42CwiZEFpximd4WUjlWwwT40eF2bN/s320/2.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Step Three: </span>Paste Paris</b><br />
If you downloaded the picture I linked at the beginning of this tutorial then just drag and drop the file into Photoshop and make sure to Rasterize the Paris picture by right clicking on it's layer, and clicking on Rasterize.<br />
<br />
You might need to resize it a bit to cover just the letters, not the whole document. You can do that by pushing Ctrl + T and holding Shift while dragging the little handles in the corners of the picture.<br />
<br />
Size it up until it is around the size I have it at, and move it over the text.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaePL3PqWh5AUR9zU6rd6flrJJXWN0mznlNagVq4fbgceodC5-W1DqeJN9MfKbj6hNFBf4xpG1abLsQm-9w8bKlUO4cMf-UzMFWxf9MEE0ypAnxqmc9uvZCzCHRHUSv_QC9Pb6LWkIBA8i/s1600/3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaePL3PqWh5AUR9zU6rd6flrJJXWN0mznlNagVq4fbgceodC5-W1DqeJN9MfKbj6hNFBf4xpG1abLsQm-9w8bKlUO4cMf-UzMFWxf9MEE0ypAnxqmc9uvZCzCHRHUSv_QC9Pb6LWkIBA8i/s320/3.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Step Four: </span>The Clipping Mask</b><br />
Now, with the picture layer selected, navigate to <b>Layer > Create Clipping Mask</b> (Alt + Ctrl + G) and you should end up with something like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYMx3tYiw-DVHMcE55MUR97sdIJu-Bk-ByfMljg_YTBp_R2ygkj9ktZZbrpbzgAtoNIWrEqJG3xuq47KRdjhaDLHXxEtcpL4uhmnBxRJbKn47_eBGyb7pEBNE0WgSmIt8lF3C2Z5aAbQdf/s1600/4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYMx3tYiw-DVHMcE55MUR97sdIJu-Bk-ByfMljg_YTBp_R2ygkj9ktZZbrpbzgAtoNIWrEqJG3xuq47KRdjhaDLHXxEtcpL4uhmnBxRJbKn47_eBGyb7pEBNE0WgSmIt8lF3C2Z5aAbQdf/s320/4.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The great thing about Clipping Masks is that you can rearrange the picture in the background without messing up the letters or having to redo anything.<br />
<br />

In this tutorial I will be showing you how to easily create a stencil in Photoshop.<br />
<br />
Here is what we will be making:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSGglofh6q02uaRGYB5laXlC9Zk4hq-j7G4cF2MAkTmBabjyeNaz5ZoJT_ayP5f1M2rCSgoQfz4lGNozrdnIHNPH_4sT-pZ8NDqwjkRklzK_R9WK1zIwEJ1DqFhLXPmr792llatI8JcU_X/s1600/4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSGglofh6q02uaRGYB5laXlC9Zk4hq-j7G4cF2MAkTmBabjyeNaz5ZoJT_ayP5f1M2rCSgoQfz4lGNozrdnIHNPH_4sT-pZ8NDqwjkRklzK_R9WK1zIwEJ1DqFhLXPmr792llatI8JcU_X/s320/4.png" width="260" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
What you will need:<br />
•A photo which you can find <a href="http://mlkshk.com/r/304Y" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Let's get started, shall we?<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Step One: </span>Setting up your document</b><br />
For this step I just simply copied the picture in the link, went into Photoshop, navigated to <b>File > New</b> and it filled in the image resolution for me. Then just push Ctrl + C to copy the image onto the document.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTbnRAt_Z18NkyGRX5s_Vp-GldEGNKJcYbspWPQU0SOLsnLLaGKCsD6E6LgTmeo1Mcb4VIVrnBy0GhD_n-tAoU_2o-0szF2MFld0jhELcB-wtvxE5rKXgQ0zRfXVN__uAcKD2038-BTtw6/s1600/1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTbnRAt_Z18NkyGRX5s_Vp-GldEGNKJcYbspWPQU0SOLsnLLaGKCsD6E6LgTmeo1Mcb4VIVrnBy0GhD_n-tAoU_2o-0szF2MFld0jhELcB-wtvxE5rKXgQ0zRfXVN__uAcKD2038-BTtw6/s320/1.png" width="261" /></a></div>
<br />
Now usually when you do this, if you photo is not black and white like this one. Then you will need to Desaturate it by going to <b>Image > Adjustments > Desaturate</b>.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Step Two:</span> Learn to use Threshold</b><br />
Navigate to <b>Image > Adjustments > Threshold</b> and set it to 115. Click OK and you should end up with something like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimQ-7weZCwv5a5wo_hweK5ZbuUx41ECQHPxH8efRYFLxdbQ-o3kMJ52Jmyt_Y0VBw0XKuVIIwyHGUCjJTmG6IjO9M3ozGadK3y243AcBMZ7ehaqpzlb6QrRp_iylg6mNLYMx8zqCL0D7CV/s1600/2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimQ-7weZCwv5a5wo_hweK5ZbuUx41ECQHPxH8efRYFLxdbQ-o3kMJ52Jmyt_Y0VBw0XKuVIIwyHGUCjJTmG6IjO9M3ozGadK3y243AcBMZ7ehaqpzlb6QrRp_iylg6mNLYMx8zqCL0D7CV/s320/2.png" width="260" /></a></div>
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Step Three: </span>Blur it a bit</b><br />
You'll notice that some of the edges are a little rough, so we are going to blur them until they are nice and smooth.<br />
<br />
Go to <b>Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur </b>and set the Radius to 5px.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0Hg0Wd9rtofmxDp1ZoZtLIgszyN43v2X8dwhiEXbOfjTIF2xx34jFLZ2kEzZN-brYE1k58-NJBZR8n3MyOmbhU-OjVm7M4idCSkr_EYHBoTsjVwtbfv8MZqHaoIYa-kuLzq01uvlxFeYs/s1600/3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0Hg0Wd9rtofmxDp1ZoZtLIgszyN43v2X8dwhiEXbOfjTIF2xx34jFLZ2kEzZN-brYE1k58-NJBZR8n3MyOmbhU-OjVm7M4idCSkr_EYHBoTsjVwtbfv8MZqHaoIYa-kuLzq01uvlxFeYs/s320/3.png" width="260" /></a></div>
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Step Four: </span>Use Posterize</b><br />
Navigate to <b>Image > Adjustments > Posterize </b>and set the levels to 2.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSGglofh6q02uaRGYB5laXlC9Zk4hq-j7G4cF2MAkTmBabjyeNaz5ZoJT_ayP5f1M2rCSgoQfz4lGNozrdnIHNPH_4sT-pZ8NDqwjkRklzK_R9WK1zIwEJ1DqFhLXPmr792llatI8JcU_X/s1600/4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSGglofh6q02uaRGYB5laXlC9Zk4hq-j7G4cF2MAkTmBabjyeNaz5ZoJT_ayP5f1M2rCSgoQfz4lGNozrdnIHNPH_4sT-pZ8NDqwjkRklzK_R9WK1zIwEJ1DqFhLXPmr792llatI8JcU_X/s320/4.png" width="260" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There you go. A very quick and simple stencil.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now if you are going to actually use this as a spraypaint stencil, then you will need to erase some of the black so that the white is not surrounded by a black area. In other words, all white areas need to connect to the background. </div>

Today I'll be showing you how to make a super simple Tilt Shift effect in Photoshop.<br />
<br />
Here is what we will be making:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggJJnoLyUUDD0CPBEWnuZzXO_XserX8QX4mKGQcglTb78E9DmW1x5X-XEgVNb3ffO4dee8qIZTJWPW0kLpZhP_kXQPzZWoWttSXvqkoNc6Vaw6YhcjtOyr5RTIKnjtckue6mUOHM_xNANV/s1600/6.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggJJnoLyUUDD0CPBEWnuZzXO_XserX8QX4mKGQcglTb78E9DmW1x5X-XEgVNb3ffO4dee8qIZTJWPW0kLpZhP_kXQPzZWoWttSXvqkoNc6Vaw6YhcjtOyr5RTIKnjtckue6mUOHM_xNANV/s320/6.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
What you'll need for this tutorial:<br />
•Rockefeller Center picture, which you can find <a href="http://www.nycofficespaceleasing.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Rockefeller-Center-Office-Space.jpg" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Lets get started!<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Step One: </span>Set up your document</b><br />
Open up the Rockefeller Center picture in Photoshop.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitDAQxeNGNsY5QGCaZVatTKgUmWbmhEMj9yG51QwPhmr0ySgdcz2YAPVjXusR2nG7pFu_5f60Duu_yKCRib17AVA3Y-Fdodp5iagcN3hIOh3zIJsrgaWsrzFgb5rpBoaCWN2Hu8P5Ix_nE/s1600/1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitDAQxeNGNsY5QGCaZVatTKgUmWbmhEMj9yG51QwPhmr0ySgdcz2YAPVjXusR2nG7pFu_5f60Duu_yKCRib17AVA3Y-Fdodp5iagcN3hIOh3zIJsrgaWsrzFgb5rpBoaCWN2Hu8P5Ix_nE/s320/1.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Step Two: </span>Tracing</b><br />
Select your Pen Tool and trace around the edges of the buildings as I have done here. The red lines are to show you were!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE8aT_OGiDSfos3Mvv8MOQnHOKYmhkrla-UYi65ysB-hRvLi1KwV7gRiocwIHXN8fiICKg5DcqNEYuREi_ulDpQWuNi7ArfdjuIsl1_KGSWM1HBHJPt-9y6pjtZRjJNqiNNQdBiIBJg33t/s1600/2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE8aT_OGiDSfos3Mvv8MOQnHOKYmhkrla-UYi65ysB-hRvLi1KwV7gRiocwIHXN8fiICKg5DcqNEYuREi_ulDpQWuNi7ArfdjuIsl1_KGSWM1HBHJPt-9y6pjtZRjJNqiNNQdBiIBJg33t/s320/2.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Step Three: </span>The blur area</b><br />
Now with your Pen Tool still selected, right click and select Make Selection. Since we want to blur the outside of that area, not the inside, we need to invert the selection. To do that, simply press Ctrl + Shift + I.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZHlFEEtC-UvPME_vl49tO2NToCtHrB5Z4lL2mJiVw-SV0YYWatVdDlsNY2FLNUZ72AEhCcMoB-TRD1fP3Of910MXfB6Gj-XSpsYasKbZvQebv70_zG2Mvnw_CfHxLAoH1EPUOZttqs44_/s1600/3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZHlFEEtC-UvPME_vl49tO2NToCtHrB5Z4lL2mJiVw-SV0YYWatVdDlsNY2FLNUZ72AEhCcMoB-TRD1fP3Of910MXfB6Gj-XSpsYasKbZvQebv70_zG2Mvnw_CfHxLAoH1EPUOZttqs44_/s320/3.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Feather the selection by selecting the Marquee Tool, right clicking, and clicking on Feather. Set the Radius to 20 and click OK.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Step Four: </span>The blur</b><br />
Now to do the Tilt Shift effect. Navigate to <b>Filter > Blur > Lens Blur </b>and input the following settings:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinOb0Z2zI_nMXPLSdCOY0JPrn_TaQhWBjJ5zwSku6Meuqs_gMjPgWA-wcSsrClma9Gz5zOrbtR9kJ10eUaKo4kufRfGjn_bNTCKkLP85n7dFk1NMiK79U8jURY-UwC7qDRhywAmlCzVdaT/s1600/5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinOb0Z2zI_nMXPLSdCOY0JPrn_TaQhWBjJ5zwSku6Meuqs_gMjPgWA-wcSsrClma9Gz5zOrbtR9kJ10eUaKo4kufRfGjn_bNTCKkLP85n7dFk1NMiK79U8jURY-UwC7qDRhywAmlCzVdaT/s320/5.png" width="213" /></a></div>

Here are some things you will need:<br />
•Cocktail Shaker font from <a href="http://ufonts.com/fonts/cocktail-shaker.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
•Grunge Texture from <a href="http://texturez.com/sites/default/files/textures/texturez_3837.jpg" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Lets get started!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Step One: </span>Getting your document set up</b><br />
Create a new RGB document at 300 dpi and a size of 950x650px. Make a light grey rectangle that covers the art board and make some white text on top of it.<br />
<br />
Next we are going to Expand the text by either clicking <b>Object > Expand</b> or by right clicking and selecting Create Outlines. Click the Unite button on the Pathfinder palette to make any overlapping letters into one solid shape. If you cannot find the Pathfinder palette, go to <b>Window > Pathfinder</b>.<br />
<br />
You should now have something that looks like this:<br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Step Four: </span>Face change</b><br />
Change the color of the pasted item to white and move it so it is directly over the 3D text. Give it a white border of 1px to cover any gaps that might show.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First off we will need some starting materials.<br />
You'll need:<br />
•The Decepticon image, which you can find <a href="http://i.imgur.com/L8vhi.jpg" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
•A set of Cracked brushes, which you can find <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/download/92725525/Cracks_and_Holes_Brushes_by_Falln_Stock.abr" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
•And lastly some textures, which you can find <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?yzzkyt1djt1" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Step One:</span> Setting up your background</b></span><br />
Start off by creating a new document sized at 750x550px.<br />
<br />
Fill the background layer with black (#000000)<br />
<br />
Grab your Decepticon logo and put it in the middle of your document.<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Step Two: </span>Get out those pen tools!</b></span><br />
Go to <b>View > Rulers </b>(Ctrl + R). While you are on the logo layer, drag a guide from the side to the center of the document. With the Pen Tool, trace only the left half of the logo.<br />
<br />
There is no need to trace the right half, because the two sides are symmetrical.<br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a view of what we will be making:</div>
<br />
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7LToYzfBFnzXhcks7IzjEL_X6afbaaYgwEH_GvzXLfDTbn4BW0hza2up2kHVfB0YDGfH0mjO2pu_hKZcHI78gyP04HBgtcfx3TKMRaGv4BQnw8KRot-f2hrZtc53839Ns0e01uGaZZyzm/s320/Pic9.png" />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><b><br /></b></span></span><br />
Thing's you'll need:<br />
•Photoshop<br />
•Around 5-10 minutes<br />
<br />
Let's get started!<br />
<br />
1. Open up Photoshop and create a new document that is square shaped. I'll be using a 500x500 canvas size.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf4RzQMENoeQ_CVAMKu-9AF06WtruN8NokJIVUWm2OwiHXorw29ClPY7bwubcsejUQw-FnaMf801Oc67cSPhp8-Rm_3-sCcYpeOkymFiu1xzuRlzVH51mbRdQiQUe2bQ6ursp9i6ZqIyjZ/s1600/Pic.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf4RzQMENoeQ_CVAMKu-9AF06WtruN8NokJIVUWm2OwiHXorw29ClPY7bwubcsejUQw-FnaMf801Oc67cSPhp8-Rm_3-sCcYpeOkymFiu1xzuRlzVH51mbRdQiQUe2bQ6ursp9i6ZqIyjZ/s320/Pic.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
2. Fill the background with black and go to <b>Filters > Render > Fibers </b>and set the Variance to 20, and the Strength to 7. Press OK<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQpASRNCMuXmnQ_7GhW758Tbx5UU-A47LWiIPPodg_M3CY4GqaOnWUwNYvKhWPnKBUhYDa1UVthxo_rdGf7sW8AotH8uO1NeB31deyHHXt5O88vIytZyHG0XkVDQqz8jaH6Q7xWfhNk7VS/s1600/Pic3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQpASRNCMuXmnQ_7GhW758Tbx5UU-A47LWiIPPodg_M3CY4GqaOnWUwNYvKhWPnKBUhYDa1UVthxo_rdGf7sW8AotH8uO1NeB31deyHHXt5O88vIytZyHG0XkVDQqz8jaH6Q7xWfhNk7VS/s320/Pic3.png" width="318" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
3. Next you'll go to <b>Filters > Distort > Polar Coordinates </b>and press OK.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWmVrGLQYx397URN8r8UVhypV4bBTPOKx5EsZqIHpuCrjfxmO07YI1hXMd7-20MQW61YunPYCwpZZhLfzBP6iX84lJ_t07tjG9N_PgVDPOnG4bWr2uRBeQxXHfkbV-ZmJFFSsunb7K1GKh/s1600/Pic4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWmVrGLQYx397URN8r8UVhypV4bBTPOKx5EsZqIHpuCrjfxmO07YI1hXMd7-20MQW61YunPYCwpZZhLfzBP6iX84lJ_t07tjG9N_PgVDPOnG4bWr2uRBeQxXHfkbV-ZmJFFSsunb7K1GKh/s320/Pic4.png" width="281" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
4. After that you will need to blur it a bit so the lines aren't so rough. Can't have a rough energy swirl. Make your way to <b>Filters > Blur > Radial Blur </b>and set the Amount to 100, the Blur Method to Zoom, and the Quality to Best. Click OK<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4iWvuoHw3SwdCEyhAd81cO73FigCSG2U4HR2OUkPm26DeM_Q6nij0dGRoFC8GMoeUcNrE290j_vt4YnTsoN9knn7j92zJQ3IaKLMFud-Tc4EmDftw8g_WfXMoAOvLPvNXwqB3WN5ZQk0H/s1600/Pic5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4iWvuoHw3SwdCEyhAd81cO73FigCSG2U4HR2OUkPm26DeM_Q6nij0dGRoFC8GMoeUcNrE290j_vt4YnTsoN9knn7j92zJQ3IaKLMFud-Tc4EmDftw8g_WfXMoAOvLPvNXwqB3WN5ZQk0H/s320/Pic5.png" width="319" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
5. Now we need to lighten the white up a bit. Go to <b>Image > Adjustments > Levels </b>and apply the following settings.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlFWin-iBDTjcy0HBgFNxJg67yZRzkhwPNw4IAlt2fiGrDe6dlo7IwqYdlYvq1qtQ-3UIZ8LPDOiBMuluGIazSKR1EKxVi6QwjrdgipF_T2Tb0SfZ3I48ikvydul_IxjoFrwZ11h2xbebh/s1600/Pic6.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlFWin-iBDTjcy0HBgFNxJg67yZRzkhwPNw4IAlt2fiGrDe6dlo7IwqYdlYvq1qtQ-3UIZ8LPDOiBMuluGIazSKR1EKxVi6QwjrdgipF_T2Tb0SfZ3I48ikvydul_IxjoFrwZ11h2xbebh/s320/Pic6.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
6. Press Ctrl + J (or Command + J if you are on a Mac) to duplicate "Layer 1". Select "Layer 1 Copy" and set its Blending Mode to Screen. Next thing you'll want to do is go to <b>Filters > Distort > Twirl </b>and change the Angle to 250°. Press OK and then select "Layer 1". Go back to the Twirl filter, but this time change the Angle to -250°.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
You should end up with something that looks like this:</div>
<br />

<br />
<br />
7. Since black and white is a bit plain, we will spice it up with some color. Create a new Layer and name it "color". Change it's blending mode to Soft Light. Select the Gradient tool and choose a color on the left side, and leave the right side black. I chose the color <b>#3a9693</b> . Start your gradient in the center of the swirl and drag it outwards.
