Hi all I have been seen some cool tutorials to masterised the Filter > Stylise > Wind Options

Specially in the Filter > Systelize > Wind

After playing around and learn it while revising for my exams (break time now)

So here is a tutorial for those who want to make some cool text effects (its my 1st tutorial, ah ah...)
  • 1-In Photoshop open a new file and make it 400x400 pixels, 72 dpi and RGB, Background Colour Black

    Done! Cool...

    So your background its done and lock... (no worries, we will not used it much, leave it lock)

  • 2- Then Add Text > Horizontal Type Tool (Impact> Roman> Size 72 pt > White colour (make sure its white)

    Type in your text (for instance, GSN)

    user posted image
  • 3- Ctrl/Cmd Click on the layer 1 (where your GSN text is now) - It should select your inner layer

    user posted image
  • 4 - Copy > Paste (you should get a second layer, Layer 2)
  • 5 - Now, delete Layer 1 (So now you should have layer name Background and Layer 2)


Its it hard... I did not find it hard...

tO CONTINUE...

So now here come the most astonishing fun bits... Ready?
  • 6 - Click on layer 2 (leave it selected)

    Image > Rasterise > Layer (see below)

    This will flatten your layer and make background transparent (wow definition)
  • 7 - Now Choose Filter > Stylise > Wind...

    A Wind windows come up

    Choose > Method > Wind > Direction rom right > OK (repeate again, make it 2 times)

    user posted image
  • 7 (part2) Now Choose > Method > Wind > Direction from left > OK (repeat again, make it 2 times)

    Now both ends are with effects... left and right

    So now the rested with the bottom and top bits...
  • 8 - Choose on Image > Rotate Canvas > 90 CW (Repeat steps 7 part 1 and part 2)
Now you should have something like this...

Ha ha almost there
  • To finish off ... Add a text with any colour you want (as long as its not white)

  • To make it more attractive i decided to do a bit of fun with HUE/ Saturation to give it a colour look

    user posted image

    There is two option to choose it, one its press Image > Adjustment > Hue/ Saturation... or the one i use by click the 1/2 moon on the layer pallete
  • Finally click on the 'COLORIZE' Choose the colour you want (watch it change colour, while changing the Hue and Saturation

    Final outcome will be something like this ...
