Figure 1 |
Sometimes
our images need some spicy backgrounds, and here I'll
show you how to make a really rusty texture.
Figure 1 shows you the result of this tuturial... |
|
 |

Figure 2 |
I
started with a new image, 200 x 200 pixels, transparent
background.
Choose a light beige color as foreground color
(#9E8B75), and fill your first layer with this color
(fig. 2). |
|
 |

Figure 3 |
Now
we'll have to add some noise to this layer:
Filter - Noise - Add Noise - Amount 40 - Gaussian +
Monochromatic. |
|
 |

Figure 4 |
Your
image should now look like fig. 4. |
|
 |

Figure 5
|
Still at the first
layer run Filter - Blur - Motion Blur:
Angle: 45
Distance 999 pixels Your
image should now look like fig. 5.
|
|
 |

Figure 6
|
Now
we are going to add some Ocean Ripple:
Filter - Disort - Ocean Ripple:
Ripple size: 9
Ripple Magnitude: 9
You image should now
look like fig. 6. |
|
 |

Figure 7 |
Make
a new layer.
Select a darker brown color as your foreground color
(#866636).
Activate the Paintbrush Tool and select a soft brush
(35).
Paint a few strokes so your image looks like my fig. 7.
Now go to Filter - Blur - Gaussian Blur - Radius: 7
pixels.
And then: Filter - Blur - Motion Blur:
Angle: 45
Distance 40 pixels. |
|
 |

Figure 8 |
On
the same layer change the layer mode from Normal to
Color Burn.
Your image should now
look like fig. 8. |
|
 |

Figure 9 |
Create
a new layer.
Make #866636 your foreground color and black your
background color.
Filter - Render -
Clouds.
Change the layer mode
from Normal to Color Burn, and turn down the layer
opacity to about 60% (if you want the rust effect to be
a little lighter enter a smaller value...) |
|
 |

Figure 10 |
Create
a new layer, and fill the layer with the brown color.
Filter - Noise - Add
Noise:
Amount: 35
Gaussian + Monochromatic
Change the layer mode
from Normal to Soft Light. |
|
 |

Final result ! |
Finished!
Play around with the
settings and you'll see there are no limits to the
different effects you can make out of this tutorial.
Have fun :o)
