In the real world space is, as they say, the final frontier. In the
Photoshop realm, however, warp speed is far easier to attain, and uses little
more than a basic knowledge of the default tools and a few filters.
 |
Step 1: Create a blank 400px by 400px document
and fill it with a solid black colour. Run the Filter > Render >
Difference Clouds command from the main menu and keep re-running it until you end up with a
satisfactory cloud (the clouds themselves are randomly generated each time).
NB. Bigger images tend to work better with this technique, so start large and crop
your results later if necessary. |
 |
Step 2: Now select Filter > Blur > Radial Blur
and duplicate the settings on the left. Don't feel tempted to increase
the quality, as it also blurs the effect - we'll handle the graininess in
the next step...
|
 |
Step 3: Press OK to render the blur effect, and
then repeat step 2 again, this time with the amount set to 40, and
the quality set to best. Once this is done, run Image >
Adjustments > Auto Levels to increase the contrasts of the warp. |
 |
Step 4: Looking good! All good warp effects
need a little colour, though, so go back to the menu and choose Image >
Adjustments > Hue/Saturation. Now all you have to do is click the
colourize checkbox and vary the Hue setting until you find a colour of your
liking. And there you have it - a warp-speed effect of your very
own! |
 |
Variations: This technique may look rather simple
but it is, in fact, extremely flexible. For a slightly different
texture to your warp, run the Filter > Pixelate > Mezzotint command
between steps 1 and 2 of this tutorial. The filter drop-down menu has
quite a few options to play with, but my favourite is the 'long lines'
option, which helps create the streaky effect opposite. |

I wish everyone that writes tutorials could make them as easy as you do. You should write a Photoshop book. I would be the first in line to buy it!! |

Just wanted to say that this is a terrific tutorial. I especially loved the effect I got when I used that last little tip about the Mezzotint. |
