I will show you how to create a beautiful colorful tornado in Photoshop. You will like the final result in this tutorial.

Create a new file, which has the size is 400 x 400 pixel.
Then, use Gradient Tool (G) to make a background like below

Next step, go to the menu Filter >Distort>Wave. Select “Square” box
001042801
Then go to the menu Filter>Distort>Polar Coordinates. Use the default settings.
001042802
Press Ctrl + J to duplicate layer.
001042803
And then, apply the mode “Overlay” for Blending Mode.

Still on the copied layer, then go to the menu Filter>Distort>Twirl with the settings below:
001042804

Here is the result:

Then,we should merge all the layers and create a new layer. Next step, you fill any color which you like on the new layer. Or you could adjust the Hue/Saturation (Press Ctrl + U ). Please remember that to apply “Overlay” in Blending Mode. Here is the final result.

    You just make black as your foreground color and white as the background color. Easy!

    Hey everybody, what the tutorial means is:
    1) add a new layer (Ctrl+Shift+N)
    2) make a two-coloured gradient on it, choosing like blue as a background colour and green as foreground. Drag the gradient across the whole layer (you should see the two colours blending into each other now - nothing beneath).
    3)now, go for the cool thing! In the window where all your layers are displayed, you’ll find a dropbox, reading “Normal”. Click it and choose “Overlay”.
    Off you go, with this cute little graphic!

    Btw, thanks for the tut!
    Greets!

  23. Lauren April 13, 2008

    You get the different colors by doing another gradient (with the colors of your choice) when you make the final color overlay.
