General
 You may use adobe Photoshop techniques to create unusual effects.  This is only one among many.
1. Create a new file. Create a new file in photoshop (Ctrl+N) in RGB mode with a resolution of  72dpi a black background.  I used 300 x 400 pixels. Create random shapes in various colors. Use the lasso tool to create various shapes and fill them with various colors of  high contrast.

2. Rotate Canvas apply filters. Marquee select Image > Rotate Canvas > 90 o CCW. Choose Filter > Stylize > Wind. Select blast with from the left and ok. To add some randomization choose this filter again (Wind) and select blast from the right.

3. Blur and Distort. In Photoshop choose the Image > Rotate > 90o. Choose Filter > Blur > Motion Blur. Use 90 o for the Angle and 22 pixels for the distance. Play around with the distance until you find what you like. As you can see the higher the distance option the "softer" the lines appear. Choose filter > Distort > Wave. Settings used from top to bottom: 3, Sine type, Wavelength - 10 to 25, Amp.- 1 to 22, Scale - 70 to 1 and repeat edge pixels on.  Choose filter > Distort > Ocean Ripple. I used 14 for the size and 6 for the magnitude to get the effect shown on the right.

4. Enlarge & apply more effects. Enlarge the canvas in Photoshop To prepare for the next step increase the size of your canvas. Choose Image > Canvas size add about 150 or more pixels to both the horizontal and the vertical. Choose filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates. Select the Polar to Rectangular button and watch the inside out effect amaze you. Choose Image > Rotate Canvas > Flip Vertical. The image now is "turned upside down". Use the marquee select tools and select the central part of the image. Feathering about 12 pixels. Leave about 50 pixels few on top and bottom and 100 pixels on either side. (Merge layers) Apply Polar coordinates again.  Add another image to your liking as seen in the largest image at the top.

Use x-ray techniques in Photoshop to show naked skin through clothing

    Do those new naked body scanners have you freaked out at the airports? As far as the TSA is concerned, those x-ray machines are here to stay, but you might as well take comfort in knowing that airport security guards aren't the only ones looking at your private parts. Practically anyone with a computer can manage to see through your clothes, and it's all thanks to a little program called Photoshop. Thanks, Adobe. With a few tweaks using the tools in Photoshop, you can see those boobs in no time, male or female. The video is in German, but it's not hard to figure our what's going on, especially if you're familiar with Photoshop. First, create a few duplicate layers, then get a handle on some of these tools to make the naked body through the clothes: * Auswahl erstellen (Create Selection) * Tonwertspreizung (Input Levels) * Belichtung (Exposure) You can also do this see-through clothing effect in free design programs, such as  GIMP .

Royal 3D Text Effect in Photoshop CS6

  Just make sure to check the 3D settings under Edit -> Preferences -> Performance, and Edit -> Preferences -> 3D. Default values should work fine, but if anything seems to be not working properly you can always check those settings. Step 1 - Create a new 1600 x 1200 px document and Fill the Background with black. Create the text in white using the font Dunkin Sans. The font size is 400 pt and the text is better written in All Caps (if you’re not using only numbers). Step 2 - With the text layer selected, go to 3D -> New Extrusion from Selected Layer. This will instantly convert the text layer into a 3D layer. All the 3D scene elements can be found in the 3D panel (Window -> 3D).
