Wallpaper Tutorial
By: Tofu



Hello, and welcome to my quick and easy tutorial on how to make a sick/stylish wallpaper in 3 or less minutes! For this you must follow all of my instructions below for it to work properly. So lets start this tutorial up!


First you will want to open a new document with the size you prefer for personal wallpaper use. I personally use 1600x900 as my desktop is this size, yours may not be the same. After this you will then go to Filter, then to Render, then to Clouds. Put the color black as your projects foreground and white as it's background , you will have the following result upon your screen:

Now after you have completed these step(s) you will go on into your project and follow these steps. Go to Filter once again, then to Pixelate, then to Mosaic. After this is done set the cell size to 15, your project should now look like this:

Now that you have done this your clouds will look pixelated. Your next step(s) will be to go to Filter, then click on Stylize, then on Find Edges. Now it should look like this:

You are now almost done with your wallpaper project, only a couple more steps to go! Next you will need to go to Filter, then Blur, then to Radial Blur, and set the amount to 35, then go to Method Zoom, and then Quality Best. Through doing all of this you will have this as an outcome:

For the next step(s) you will need to go Filter, then to Stylize, then to Find Edges. After all of these the outcome will look like this:

Now we only have two more steps to go through and we will be finished with this project! At this time you must press Ctrl+I or Image, then press Adjustments, and then Invert. Now it will look like this:

Now you are on your last step, what you will want to do now is add color to your wallpaper. To add your color you will press Ctrl+U or Image, then press Adjustments, then press Hue/Saturation, then you need to check Colorize, and then play with the rulers until the Image looks nice and or when it reaches the extent you wanted it to look like. My final image looked like this as I chosen the color green:

I hope you all enjoyed my quick little tutorial on how to do this. Personally, it took me about three minutes to do. It could take you wither longer or a shorter amount of time. Every one will look different as the clouds are randomized at the beginning. If something is not working for you, or you are having issues, please message me and we will figure it out. If you want to use this wallpaper/method for anything please ask me and give me credit and we will be find. Look back for more tutorials in the future, thank you.

It seems you did go wrong somewhere, but it still looks pretty rad in my opinion.

This helped me make a sick wallpaper, but it wasn't as good as yours.

So I just saved yours and used it for my self.

Sick tut buddy, you made this?
