Since this is my first tutorial, it might not be as good, but I'll still try to teach an effect I came up with. Its pretty easy and uses only basic tools and filters. This tutorial is written exclusively for Shadowness.com. By [ FactorX ].


[ first step]

click to download

Make a New Image 400x400 pixels. Use black and white colors. (To reset them press 'D') Now, go to Filter > Render > Clouds. You should get something like I did, but if its a bit different don't worry.

[ second step. ]

click to download

Now jump to Filter > Distort > Wave. Use the settings like I did and make sure to set Type to Square. If you want something different, change Max Amplitude.

You should get something like I did. Now lets just colorize it a bit. Go Image > Adjust > Hue/Saturation. Make sure Colorize checkbox is ON and pick any color you like. Now it looks better, doesnt it? If you like how it looks and you want that, then stop, if you want something better, keep going!

[ fourth step ]

click to download

Now, lets turn down the Brightness a little, go Image > Adjust > Brightness/Contrast. Set Brightness to -35.

[ third step ]

click to download

Now make a New Layer and do Filter > Render > Clouds on the new layer. Now go to Filter > Distort > Wave and use setting similar to mine. This time Type is set to Sine. Click OK, then set the layer mode to Color Dodge. And there you have it! For full size click on the image.
