Solar Wind 2
May 31st, 2007
1. Create a new 300×300 pixel document with a resolution of 100 and name it Solar Wind. Now press D and fill the document (with Black). Next, create a horizontal type mask, press X and then fill (with white), all of this on the one layer.
2. Now, apply a gaussion blur with settings [Radius: 3px]. Then apply a solarize filter. Now apply auto levels.
3. Next we are going to add the ’solar wind’ to your image. Add wind with settings [Method: wind, Direction: From the Left]. Then rotate the canvas 90 ° and apply the wind filter (Ctrl-F) again with same settings. DO the last sentence twice more, then rotate the canvas 90° CW and your back to the start.
4. Now add a glowing edges filter with settings [Edge Width: 1, Edge Brightness: 8, Smoothness: 6].
5. Lastly, you can add some color by creating a new layer. Then fill it with a color of your choice. Then change the blending mode to ‘color’. You want to make sure that this ‘color’ layer appears at the top of the layer list in the layers window. Voila!

wow nice tut! i like the effect
Very nice tutorial, great work. I’ve learnt so much from all these tutorials, thank you
hey man! Really nice effect! But I got problems making it, so can someone add my mail: the-hypex@hotmail.com
and tell me what to do? Because when i use the solarize everything turns black, and what kinda font u using?
If the text outline is too thin, then the filter will make it black from what I remember. So try to make the White outline Thicker. Let me know if it works.
When I get to step 3, the wind option is grayed out and I cannot use it.
