Welcome To MyFreeWebTemplates.info Photoshop Tutorials Area - Gnarls Barkley Inkblots

Create the fancy Rorschach-inspired vector inkblots that were used in the video Crazy!

• Step 1 Ok people, let's get out a photo of a random person, and make sure it's a very large photo!

  

• Step 2 Go to Image>Adjustments>Threshold and choose a setting that will suit your photo;

  

• Step 3 Then go to Select>Color Balance and click anywhere on the black area;
  Then copy it to a new document and resize it!

  

• Step 4 Besides erasing unwanted parts, leave this be, and go search for other photo's to apply the same effect on.
  Try to search for anything with curves in it. You can use ANY photo;
  Each shape, you should place on a new layer so that you can always remove it if you find a better outcome!

  

• Step 5 After that, use the standard shape in Photoshop for inque or blood and place a few of that around the document;

  

• Step 6 Merge the layers together by pressing CTRL+E;

  

• Step 7 Duplicate this layer and hide the original, then go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur, and choose a desired setting;

  

• Step 8 Go to Filter>Texture>Grain and choose 100, 0 and Horizontal;

  

• Step 9 Then go to Filter>Blur>Motion Blur and choose 90 degrees and a easy setting;

  

• Step 10 Do the same step, only with 0 degrees;

  

• Step 11 Place this blurred layer BEHIND the original;

  

• Step 12 Add this layer-style to the original layer:
  In the video-clip, many colors were used. You can use any color really. But make sure you got mathing colors like Purple-Blue, Orange-Green, Violet-Yellow and Red-LimeGreen...

  

• Step 13 And then your Inkblot will look like this:
