Abstract Techno Effect


1. Create a new 340x340 pixel document with a resolution of 100 and name it Techno-Blur. Now press D and apply a clouds filter. Next apply a Difference Clouds filter anywhere from 2 to 5 times (or more if you please).

2. Now, adjust levels and give these settings:

You now want to extrude your image with these settings [Type: Blocks, Size: 27px, Depth: 27& Level-Based].

3. Then, extrude your image with these settings [Type: Blocks, Size: 2px (lowest value), Depth: 27& Level-Based, Solid Front Faces 'Checked']. Now you can add color to the image by, creating a new layer and filling it with a color of your choice (I chose Dark Blue). Then set that layers blending mode to 'Color'. Then select the layer with the color on it and merge it with previous layer.

4. You should now have one layer. Copy this layer and name the duplicated one, 'onset'. Select this layer and add the filter glowing edges with settings [Edge Width: 1, Edge Brightness: 20, Smoothness: 1].

5. Now invert the 'onset' layer. Even now you have a pretty cool effect, but we aren't done yet. Adjust the Hue/Saturation with these settings [First Check Colorize Box, Hue: 205, Saturation: 25, Lightness: 0]. Almost done!

6. Lastly, you can change the 'onset' layers blending mode to a number of things for your desired effect. Here are a few that caught my eye: Darken, Multiply, Linear Blur, Lighten, Screen, Overlay, and Pin Light. Below is the actual size of the pictures which I used Multiply as my blending mode.
