Colourful Swirl 99
We’re going to make a colourful and good looking swirl with only a few steps!
1. Start out by creating a 800*600 document. Now go to (filter – render – clouds) so you end up with something like this.
2. Now go to (filter – pixelate – mezzotint) and select short strokes in th drop down menu!
3. Add another filter (filter – blur – radial blur) and use the following settings, do this twice! In the second screenshot you can see the outcome of this third step!
4. Add a twirl (filter – disort – twirl) with an angle of 120!

5. It looks boring right now but you have to duplicate the layer (layer – duplicate layer) and then change the blending mode to lighten! After that add a twirl (filter – disort – twirl) with an angle of -180…
6. Now it’s just time to colorize those 2 layers! So go to (image – adjustments – hue/saturation) and make sure you check the colorize box! Use the following 2 screenshots as a reference for the 2 layers! But you can always select other colors you like more!
7. This is what I ended up with! It looks strange but it’s just a nice colourful swirl and can be used for signatures, headers, banners, ads, etc…

Really awesome effect! Appreciate you sharing.
Nice that was really easy thanks, I had no problems at all thanks!
Many thanks, but I feel my trial is not as that well as yours… Why? Any way a very nice tutorial.
Can you post a link to your outcome? Its possible you haven’t used the exact same settings
? Regards.

This is very nice i like it very much thank you, bye.
This is very cool. I’m happy I learned something new & I’m gonna start using this tutorial more often. Thanks you so much
I get to the steps for the hue and saturation and cant find the controls to do it and it’s not working, can anyone message me and help me figure this out?!
Okay I think I get why people aren’t getting the effect they want. The second twirl is at NEGATIVE 180 degrees. Make sure of that.
Thank you!
It’s a really good tutorial. Thanks!
Very excellent tutorial man. Thanks for sharing!

A nice little key short cut is (Ctrl+U) for the Hue/Saturation

Awesome tutorial dude… Keep it up!!!
It`s awesome! And that was really easy!
Awesome effect, and it takes 2 secs!
I’ve done everything right up until adding color, it won’t let me adjust the hue, can anyone help please?
Make sure that colorize is checked in the hue/saturation window.
Thank you!
