Photoshop Abstract Art Tutorial

This tutorial explains te method I used to create the "Human Thoughts" wallpaper on Deviantart...It is really simple and provides stunning effects.

Step 1: Open any Previous image (Probably with mild colours e.g. Scenery, Grass etc)
Step 2: Filter --> Stylize --> Wind (Wind, From the Right/Left)
Step 3: Press Ctrl+F to repeat... Press again if you want
Step 4: Filter --> Distort --> Polar Coordinates (Rectangular to Polar)
Step 5: Filter --> Stylize --> Wind (Wind, From the Left/Right)
Step 6: Press Ctrl+F to repeat... Press again if you want
Step 7: Filter --> Distort --> Polar Coordinates (Rectangular to Polar)
Step 8: Filter --> Stylize --> Wind (Wind, From the Right/Left)
Step 9: Press Ctrl+F to repeat... Press again if you want
Step 10: Filter --> Distort --> Polar Coordinates (Polar to Rectangular)
Step 11: Press Ctrl+F (Once only!)
