This Tutorial will teach you how to make this image

3] Curves+ Luminosity



4] Clouds- Scale = 204; Roughness = 61; Blend Mode = Color Burn

5] Duplicate Layer

6] Zoom Blur Deluxe Amount = 6th mark from the left; Location = default; Quality = High


7] Top layer: Blend Mode = Negation


8] Merge Layers

9] Color with Curves+


10] Duplicate Layer

11] Top Layer- Distort- Twist = 26


12] Bottom Layer- Distort- Twist = -26

13] Top Layer- Blend Mode = Lighten

14] Flatten & you are Done!!


Don't Forget To Post Your Results! Very Happy

To Drakaan: I know this isn't exactly the "Gathering Storm" tutorial you wanted, but for the life of me I can't figure out how I made that darned image.

Glad you like it! Very Happy

Most of my abstracts are 50+ steps long but this one looked nice enough and short enough to be a good tutorial.
