Useless background tut

Merry Christmas to all of you.

I wonder why someone would want to know this, but it is a cool trick to know. Uses PHOTOSHOP FILTERS. Might not be translatable.

We are going from
to



1. Take the image you want.


2. Go to Filter-Pixelate-Mosaic. Apply it with a cell size of 8.


3. Go to Filter - Stylize - Find Edges


4. Go to Filter - noise - median with 2px radius.


5. Go to Filter- others - maximum with 1px


6. Invert this by pressing ctrl+I or image-adjustments-invert.


7. Duplicate this layer and set it on SCREEN.

8. Apply filter-stylize-find edges on the new layer set on screen. Invert it again - crtl+I


9. Duplicate the screened layer TWICE. On the one on the top, apply a motion blur(filter-blur-motion blur) at an angle of 45 degrees, 100 distance.

10. Go to image -adjustments- auto levels. we are applying this on the topmost layer.

11. Now select the layer below this. Apply motion blur again. BUT -45 degress(minus 45) angle with the same 100 distance.

12. Apply auto levels on this too.

13. Make a new brightness/contrast ADJUSTMENT LAYER. Adjust it to get what you want. Decrease the brightness, increase the contrast.


14. Crop the part that you want to use.


And you are done.
