Hi Folks, today we're going to make an Aerosmith Wallpaper that really rocks!
For this tutorial we will give you a file with an Aerosmith photo and the Aerosmith Logo you are going to need them later download them here.
Step 1:
Open the Aerosmith photo. Its 1280 x 960 pixels so you don?t have to resize it.

Change the values like this: (in COLOR, you have to use this: #98f7fe)
Now your photo will look like this:
Step 3:
Press Shift + Ctrl + E (to merge layers)
Duplicate the background layer (right click: Duplicate Layer)
And go to Filter > Render > Lighting Effects.
Change the values like this:
Grab the eraser tool and erase all the group members in this layers (make sure you are doing this in the duplicated layer)
Step 4:
Press Ctrl + Shift + E (to merge again) and once you've merge the layers, duplicate again the background layer.
Go to Filter > Filter Gallery.

Duplicate your Aerosmith logo layer.
(in the duplicated layer) Go to Filter > Blur > Radial Blur?
Now, move down the duplicated layer:
Merge again the two logo layers?
Step 6:
Create a new Layer (Ctrl + Shift + N) and grab your brush tool, fill with white some lines like this:
