First, you need a document. It really doesn't matter what size it is. For this tutorial, I'm going to use a 200x200 transparent 72 resolution document.
Make sure your colors are set to default (press d on your keyboard) and go to Filter> Render> Clouds. You should have something like this.
[Example 1]
If you're picky, now's the time to rename layers. Go to Filter>Sketch>Chrome. I usually put everything up to the max, but you can do what you want for this. Okay Cheap New Balance 574 , that looks cool, doesn't it? No, not really. So duplicate the layer, and set it on lighten or soft light. Okay, so duplicate that layer one more time. You should have three layers, like so:
[Example 2]
Now, go to your second layer from the bottom and to do Filter>Distort>Wave. Fiddle around with the settings until you get something you think looks kinda cool. It helps to randomize. It might look something like this:
[Example 3]
Go to your uppermost layer and go to Filter> Distort> Shear. Go crazy with it Cheap New Balance , or don't. Again, this, as most graphics designing is, is all up to you. When you're finished, you should have something that looks something like this:
[Example 4]
Now, see what you like more, the shear layer on top or the wave layer. In most cases it looks the same http://www.cheapnewbalance574wholesale.com/ , but if you've fiddled with layer settings, it might be different. After you have finished, pick a color you want your image to be on your foreground palette and merge all layers by clicking the top layer and pressing ctrl shift and e. Your screen should look like this:
[Example 5]
Press v to get the move tool (just in case you click anywhere), and press ctrl and u. Check the colorize button and set it to what you like. I usually do about 25-50 saturation. In this tutorial, I did 30.
[Example 6]
This might not be impressive. Maybe it's a bit lopsided or something. Duplicate the layer and flip it horizontally andor vertically so it's a little more even. You might even want to do this a few times. Then pick different layer settings. Here's what I got by duplicating once, flipping the image horizontally and vertically, and placing it on color burn:
[Example 7]
Dont forget to always experiment... Sometimes the best backgrounds can be made this way!

I can't remember much about my very young life, but my own story really started at around about 14 weeks, when this very nice couple came to where I was living, looking for a puppy. All I remember is sitting in the corner of the kennel, while four young lady puppies rushed over to say ?Hello?. They were very pretty blue merle collie pups and I was just a plain old ?black and white? Border collie. I was thinking to myself ?No-one will ever want me? and was resigned to a lonely life in my corner. However, to my amazement, I was the puppy they picked up to hold.
?Right? New Balance Shoes Clearance , I thought? ?I'm going to make the most of this and hope that they take me home with them?, so I snuggled in as tightly as I could and gave them a big wet kiss. That turned out to be a winning move on my part, because that's when my own story started for real and they took me home with them.
I was determined it would be a decision they would never regret and decided from that day on to be the best friend anyone could have asked for. When we arrived at the house, where my new ?Mom and Dad? lived. I felt a bit lost sitting on the kitchen floor all by myself, with no other puppies around to play with. But as the months went by I became more accustomed to the surroundings and started to enjoy my little life.
?This is the place for me? I thought ?There's plenty of open space to run around in, shadows to chase and even things with feathers on that fly away when you get near?.
I did have a few hiccups though, when it became time to learn how to walk on one of those lead thingies? I wasn't too keen at first! In fact I tried very hard not to give in New Balance Clearance , but as you can guess, I did!
As time passed, I had done everything from digging holes in the flowerbeds, helping with the ?unplanting? of flowers and just managing to avoid falling into the fishpond, I reckoned my new life was going to be great.
When I was about'mmm!, let me think about this?ohhh! I guess I must have been about 12 months old, everything in the house was being packed away in boxes. ?What's goin? on here?? I thought to myself ?Which box is mine??. It turned out my own story was about to continue from a new home near the coast...
What a great place that was. So many places to have a good old romp amongst the heather Cheap New Balance China , plus there was this place called 'the beach?. Wasn't too sure about it at first, as I got my feet wet, which was something that I didn't like at all (at first). But after going a few times, I began to realise that it wasn't such a bad place. I could run and run and not really get anywhere, but that didn't matter.
Then one day much to everyone's surprise, I decided to be brave and charged off into the water... Yippee!, I've got more than my feet wet now. ?Hey Cheap New Balance Shoes , this is fun? I thought ?I can actually swim?. I looked forward to being taken to the beach more and more as time passed.
