How to create a Vortex

Step 1 Getting Started

In this tutorial I will show you how to create a really cool vortex.

So open up photoshop and create a new document with these values:

width: 500 pixels
height: 500 pixels
background: white

And we can get started

Step 2 Rendering Clouds

Make sure your foreground colour is black, and background colour is white, now
go to:

Filter > Render > Clouds

And your document should have black and white clouds on.

Step 3 Setting Mezotint

Now with our document full of clouds, we need to mezotint it, so goto:

Filter > Pixelate > Mezzotint

and set to either Short/Medium Strokes.

You should have black & whtie document with a series of different sized lines on it.

Step 4 Final Step!

Now we have mezotinted it we need to give a radial blur, to finalize it so go to:

Filter > Blur > Radial Blur

and set it to Amout - 100 , Blur Method - Zoom , Quality - Best.

Now press Ctrl + F

And there you have it, a black and white vortex!
