An abstract shape formed by a jellyfish-like material.


	1. Create a new 640x480 pixels document and fill the background with black.

	2. Add a Lens Flare (Filter> Render> Lens Flare) with these settings: Brightness: 100% Lens Type: 50-300mm Zoom

	3. Apply a Chrome filter (Filter> Sketch> Chrome) using these settings: Detail: 4 Smoothness: 7

	4. Change the color using the Hue/Saturation tool (Ctrl+U). These are the settings I used: Colorize: Checked Hue: 200 Saturation: 100

	5. Duplicate the layer (Ctrl+J) then increase the contrast of the new layer using the Brightness/Contras" tool (Image> Adjustments> Brightness/Contrast) using these settings: Brightness: -25 Contrast: 50

	6. Change the blending mode of the top layer to Overlay.

	7. Select the background layer and increase its brightness to 50 using the Hue/Saturation tool (Ctrl+U).

	8. Flatten the image (Layer Flatten Image).

	9. Distort the image using a Polar Coordinates filter (Filter> Distort> Polar Coordinates) with the Rectangular to Polar method.

	10. Repeat the previous filter (Ctrl+F).

	11. Pinch the image 100% with the Pinch filter (Filter> Distort> Pinch).

	12. Distort the image again using the Polar Coordinates filter (Filter> Distort> Polar Coordinates) but use the Polar to Rectangular method instead.

	13. Here is the result that I got.
