Well, this is very unusual for me. I'm definitely not used to "blogging." But, better get started. The image I put up today is just something i made in class while Twitchell (my photography teacher) was talking to the other class. Granted, I have made better, but I'm still getting used to how basic Photoshop 4 is. T make this, I used a 1000x1000 at 300PX resolution and filled it in black. I then did two lens flare filters. Both at 100 intensity. I then desaturated it and then colorized it. after that, i used some color variations and made another layer. I filled this layer in with black as well and used the difference clouds filter about 8 times. Afterwards, I set that layer to overlay and lowered the opacity to about 80%. I then went back to the original layer and did some burning and dodging to great a better affect. The fact that it has orange and purple is a complete mistake and I didn't notice until I started dodging the edges of the orange. So, to make it blend better, I used the smudge tool and brought out some of the color and reduced the intensity of the lines from the lens flare. I then dodged some more around the flare and burned around the edges to give it more of a "burst of light" effect, for lack of a better phrase.
