Creating your own Vortex
In this tutorial, how to create your very own Vortex like one of the Default wallpapers with Windows XP.
We will start with a blank canvas of 400x300 pixels. Press D to make sure we have the Default colors - black and white, then goto Filter > Render > Fibers. Play with the settings until you get a look you prefer, and then click Ok:
Next, choose Filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates, and choose Rectnagular to Polar:
I just signed up at Server Intellect and couldn't be more pleased with my Windows Server! Check it out and see for yourself.
Now we will use the Filter > Blur > Radial Blur, choosing Zoom and Best. We will also slide the Amount up to maximum:
You may want to repeat this filter once or twice - to do so, press Ctrl+F:
Once we have a Vortex we like the look of, we can add some color by going to Edit > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation. Making sure that the Colorize option is checked, use the sliders to choose a color you want your Vortex to be:
Server Intellect offers Windows Hosting Dedicated Servers at affordable prices. I'm very pleased!
As an added effect, right-click the layer we've been working on and choose Blending Options (if the current Layer is locked, double-click it first to make it a proper layer).
Add a Gradient Overlay to the layer, set the Blend Mode to Overlay and the Style to Radial. We can choose a regular Black/White gradient like this:
Or go for a more colorful approach, like this:
As with everything in PhotoShop, experiment with the settings to get the best outcome.
Guys, please take a look at Server Intellect for Windows Web Hosting. I'm very pleased. You will be too. Take a look and see for yourself!

I decided it was time to confront myself.That night at home,I took off all my clothes and had a long look at the woman in the mirror.She was androgynous.Take my face - without makeup,it was a cute young boy‘s face.My shoulder muscles,arms and hands were powerful and muscular from the crutches.I had no breasts; instead,there were two prominent scars on my chest.I had a sexy flat stomach,a bubble butt and a well-developed thigh from years of ski racing.My right leg ended in another long scar just above the knee.
