Hurricane Abstract Effect

This tutorial will show you how to create hurricane abstract effect.

Step 2: Press "d" to reset the foreground and background colors to black and white.
Go to Filter> Render> Clouds to make some clouds on our image and then Filter> Render> Difference Clouds or press Ctrl+F to repeat this effect several times until your image looks more white than it does black.


Step 3: Now go to Filter> Artistic> Plastic Wrap and use these settings:

Step 4: Go to Filter> Distort> Twirl and use this setting:

Step 5: Apply some color so go to Image> Adjustments> Hue/Saturation or press Ctrl+U and apply these settings:

Step 6: So we need to set Levels so go to Image> Adjustments> Auto Levels or press Ctrl+Shift+L to do this.
Create a new layer so go to Layer> New> Layer and then go to Filter> Render> Clouds.
After this go to Image> Adjustments> Hue/Saturation or press Ctrl+U and use the same setting as we use in step 5.
Set the Layer Blending option to 'Screen'.

Step 7: Select the background layer and go to Filter> Sharpen> Sharpen.
