 |

Hey guys,
I made these awesome abstract backgrounds like 3 years ago with Adobe Photoshop CS5 and I am really trying to get back to making these. Here is what I remember on how to make one:
1. Make a new project (800 x 600 or bigger)
2. Go to Filter > Render > Lens Flare and put as many as you like (i mainly put 2 - 4 lens flares)
3. Go to Filter > Pixelate > Mezzotint and put it to fine dots. Press CTRL + F to do it as many as you like
4. Go to Filter > Blur > Radial Blur Make it 100, Zoom, Best Quality
5. Go to Filter > Distort > Twirl and set it to between 120 - 180
6. Press CTRL + J and CTRL + F to copy and reuse the twirl to your liking
7. Press CTRL + SHIFT + E to compress the layers and copies into one
8. Press CTRL + J and go to the copied layer and flip it to the opposite way.
That is basically really close for it to be complete but I forgot the rest. If you can, please help. I just need to know the Blending Mode to use and how to put the 2 layers together to make it a symmetrical design. Heres the picture. 
Thank you guys for your help and time.
