ok open up your picture that you wanted to use.

1. i'm using this one.


[NOTE: from Step 2-4 it's an option if you want to do it, though you don't have too. there's being to be a much difference if you don't do it]

2. ok then you make a new layer and set that layer to screen then using your eye droper, choose a color. for this one i'm using a white color.

3. next go to your soft round brush and choose a size, make sure you use a big one if your graphic is big. for this i'm using a soft round brush of 343.

4. on the new layer that is set to screen, stamp your soft anywhere on your graphic.


5. make another new layer and fill it with black. next to go Filter>Render>Lens Flare.


6. Then next press SHIFT+CTRL+U. so that the Lens Flare is in black and white.

7. Go to Filter>Distort>Twirl. then a window should pop up. Play around with the ANGLE. for me i'll be using -216. You should get something like this.


8.I would like a softer look to it so i went to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur and set the Radius to 1.3 pixels.

9. ok i want to color my swirls therefore go Image>Adjustments>Color Balance or you could choose Hue/Saturation and then play with the colors setting till you're good with your outcome.

10. set that swirl layer to Screen and then using Free Transform. Rotate then you like it or move it to a cercent place you want it. Repeat the step over again, but this time instead of using twirls only try adding in Waves or differnt type of Filters. There's no exact method of filter, you just gotta play around and if the outcome comes out nice, then it's good, but if it comes out not so great. do it over again. OR another way of Filtering is by using Light texture or Light Stock and then swirls them and paste them onto your graphic.

This is how mine turns out to be playing with the swirls and wave and such. i didn't use the white spot thing on this on.

FILTER 2 TUT. [NOTE: IT'S BETTER IF YOU'RE USING A PICTURE WITH THE SAME COLOR OF BACKGROUND AS THE EXAMPLE I HAVE USE BELOW]

1. open up your picture. For this I'll be using Por's picture.


2. fix it up.

3. Size it so it's a little smaller, but not too samll. open up a new window and choose a size for the wallpaper. For this i will be using a size 700x578. you made notice that the size may be a bit bigger then your picture therefore using the eye droper get the color of the background and then using your paintbucket make a new layer and fill it. Make sure that the person is off to the side.
------->

4. next you'll need to choose a dark color so that when we do the filter it would show up. Then on your layer at the bottom you should see the half-white and half-black circle. Click on that.


5. then a window will show up. play with the angle so that only the side of your picture is cover.
------>

6.After that make a new layer and get your Gradient Tool. Make sure you color is black and white. Make sure you setting is the same below.


7.Then on the new layer and with your mouse contuine to make lines on the layer. And you should get something like this.
----->

8. Duplicate your the layer and set it to Overlay and duplicate it again. so that the contrast is a bit dark. If you want color to it you could go Image>Adjustments>Color Balance, but i'm going to leave mine black and white. go to your layer, you should see an EYE on the left side. click on the gradient and the main picture. then meger them.


9. Go to Filter>Distort>Wave


10.Then go to Filter>Distort>Twirl. play with the Angle. then set it to Screen. Earse any necessary.

this is what i got from playing around.
