Here is a great little effect that adds a whole lot of “mood” to an image by softening and increasing contrast and also features a vignette around the focal point of your choosing. The beauty of this technique is that by using adjustment layers we have full control over the final effect’s strength and color. This one is a great tutorial for Photographers of any type.

Step 7:
Grab the Horizontal Text tool and type out your websites name in white and dark brown. If your site name has two words make the first word bold (it looks better). I used the font Myraid Pro.

Step 8:
Create a new layer under the rectangle layer. On this layer select a soft brush and add lighting behind the header.

Step 9:
Set the layer mode to overlay.

Step 21:
Now highlight the original background. Press CTRL+C then CTRL+V. this should create a copy of the background in the shape of our rounded rectangle. Apply Gaussian blur set at 23.3 to this layer.

Step 1:
To start, open up an advertisement banner, or the document on which you want to apply the effect to. I used the following banner, you can download the .psd in the members section.

Step 2:
OK, So basically this is how the effect works: you have one line of text, and then it blurs out and a new line of text appears. To start grab the Text Tool and type out three lines of text. Each on there own layer and on top of each other. In our case we used:
“Only quality tutorials”
“New updates every 3 days”
“Downloadable PSD’s and Video”

Step 3:
Now We have to create 3 blurred layers. To do this simply make a copy of one of your text layers (CTRL+J), Rasterize the copy (Layer>rasterize>type), and apply motion blur with the following settings:

Step 4:
Duplicate the blurred layer 3 times (CTRL+J x3), then merge them together (CTRL+E x3). We do this to make the blur a bit more visible. You should now have a blur layer like mine.

Step 5:
Create a blurred layer for each line of text you have (in our case three). You’re layers should look similar to mine.

Step 6:
Hide all of the text and blurred layers except for the un-blurred first line of text. To do this simple un-check the eyeball next to each layer.

Step 7:
Open up the animation Window. To do this go to Window>Animation. It looks something like this.

Note: in older versions of Photoshop you must switch over to Imageready.

Step 8:
Set the delay of the first frame to 3 seconds. Create a new frame, now hide the line of text, and un-hide its blur layer. Here’s how frame 2 should look.

Step 9:
Create a new frame, on this frame lower the opacity of the blur layer buy 10%. Continue creating new frames and lowing the opacity all the way down to 20%.

Step 10:
On the 20% frame un-hide the second line of text. Now create a new frame and hide the blur layer, leaving the second line of text. Set the delay to 3 seconds. You should now have something like this:

Step 11:
Repeat this process for the remaining two lines of text, when you finish it should look like this:

Step 1:
Open up a fresh document, any wallpaper size will do (1024×768, 1280×1024, 1650×1080), for this tutorial I used 1024×768.

Step 2:
Fill the background a nice winter blue, I used the color #7fc0ed.

Step 3:
Select the custom shape tool with the following shape:

Step 4:
Create a new layer and set your foreground color to white. Now apply the customshape rather small.

Step 5:
Rotate the snowflake a tad bit to the left or right. To do this simply go to free trasform (CTRL+T).

Step 6:
Repeat steps 4 and 5 around 8-10 times. Remember to rotate each one a bit differently and to use different sizes.

Step 7:
Change your shape to a different snowflack (there’s one to the right and the left of the current). Apply the new snowflake 5 or 6 times.

Step 8:
Select the last snowflake and apply it 3-4 times.

Step 9:
Merge all of the snowflake layers. The Easyest way to do this is to hide the background layer (un-check the little eye icon), select the top layer, and press CTRL+Shift+E (merge all).

Step 10:
Now its time to make our snowflakes shiny. Duplicate the snowflakes layer (CTRL-J). Go to filter>blur>gassian blur and apply it with the follwoing sellings:

Step 11:
Duplicate the snowflake layer again (not the blurred), and this time apply motion blur with the following settings.

Step 12:
Duplicate the motion blurred layer 2 times in order to make it more visable. By now you wallpaper should look like so:

Step 13:
Create a new layer and set your foreground color to white. Now grab a 13px soft brush and make dots following the motion blur.

Step 14:
Select a huge soft brush (400px+) and brush a circle around the whole wallpaper.

Step 15:
Lower the opacity of the circle to 80%.

Step 16:
Create a new layer, brush around the wallpaper again, this time only the corners.

Step 17:
Grab the text tool and type out some text at a 45 degree angle. You’re done! Here’s how mine came out:
