Here is a very easy to follow tutorial on how to make a basic background, and covering some of the filters, and how to use them. This is meant for new Photoshop users to get the feel for the filters.
This tutorial is 100% written by me as well.
Step 1: Firstly, create a new document and use any size you want. I used 330x125 px. Choose two colors that you want. (Foreground, and Background). Then do Filter>Render>Clouds You should then get something like this:
Step 2: Next, we are going to give it a plastic wrap. Filter>Artistic>Plastic Wrap. You may use whatever setting you want here.
Step 3: Next, we are ging to give it a wave. Filter>Distort>Wave. These settings can get a very wide variety, can can do many different things, so I am going to give you what I used. Number of Generator, 5. Wavelength Min, 29, Max 455. Amplitude min 34, 22 max. Leave the scales, and everything else the same.
Step 4: Apply chrome effect. Filter>Sketch>Chrome.
Step 5: Duplicate the layer (Ctrl+J), and set the layer mode to Color Dodge
Step 6: While still on your duplicated layer, add another plastic wrap. Filter>Artistic>Plastic Wrap.
Step 7: This step is really optional, but I sphearized the duplicated layer. Filter>Distort>Sphearize. I used the default settings.
Step 8: We are just about done, all we need to do now is add some color. I added a curves, and playes around with the Red, Green, and Blue settings. I then added a gradient map of Orange and purple. Did curves one more time and played around with the colors, and this is my final outcome:
That's it!
This tutorial was meant for new users to get more of a feel for a couple of the filters, so I tried to explain it out as much as I could. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
