This tutorial was written by: HaLo2FrEeEk
In this tutorial I will show you how to make a really cool, and realistic, space warp effect in Photoshop CS2:
First you will need a 400 x 400 pixel new document. Fill it with black and run the Difference Clouds effect on it three times, so that it looks a little distorted. Note: Your clouds will turn out better if you render them on a bigger document, then crop it down to 400 x 400, I suggest starting with a 1200 x 1200 palette, rendering as above, then cropping out a 400 x 400 section that you like the best.
You should end up with something like this:
Duplicate that layer, then hide it and go back to your bottom layer (should be called Background.) Now lets mess it up a bit, click Filter > Pixelate > Mezzotint, set the Type option as Long Lines, you will end up with something like this:
Now click Filter > Blur > Radial Blur, change the Blur Method to zoom, the Amount to 80, and the Quality to good, after you do that, go back and run the filter again, but change the Amount to 40 and the Quality to best, you should look like this:
Looking good, but we're not done yet, we need some color, I'm going to use blue, the typical Space Warp color, you can use whatever you want. To apply the color, click Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation and check the Colorize box. The values I will use are:
Hue: 250
Saturation: 100
Lightness: 0
Colorize: checked
Now click OK, you should have something like this:
Well, thats ok, but not really very spacey, not to worry, we're not done. Create a new layer, above all the rest, fill it with black and click Filter > Noise > Add Noise, put the Amount to 50, the Distribution to gaussian, and check Monochromatic, then click render, you will have what looks like a television with no reception, thats good. Now, go to Filter > Blur > Radial Blur, this time set the Amount to 100, the Blur Method to zoom, and the Quality to best, run this twice, and you should look like this:
Apply some color, again click Image > Adjusments > Hue/Saturation and use these settings:
Hue: 250
Saturation: 50
Lightness: 0
Colorize: checked
Set the Blending Mode of that layer to Screen, thats what worked best for me, feel free to mess around a little bit though, until you like the result:
Now, don't think I forgot that layer that you duplicated, I didn't. Unhide and select that layer and repeat the blurring proccess that you did on the first layer, click Filter > Blur > Radial Blur, set the Amount to 80, the Blur Method to zoom, and the Quality to good, then repeat that but set the Amount to 40, and the Quality to best. Next you should colorize it, I recommend doing a lighter shade of the color that you used with the first one, in my case blue, I will use cyan for this layer. Click Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation and use these settings:
Hue: 180
Saturation: 25
Lightness: 0
Colorize: checked
You should look like this:
Its ok, but not great, play around with the layers blending mode a little, for me the best choice was Linear Dodge, which, when applied, gave me this:
Well, thats about it, all thats left is for you to sign it, and show everybody your handiwork. You can make so many different effects by changing little things, here are a few different outcomes I can get just by changing the layer modes on the top two layers:
Have fun with this guys and feel free to ask me if you have any questions, this is my first real tutorial so I'm quite proud of the results.
