Polor coordinates

[adam_uk]

hey hey

im reading a tutorail in an aid to improve my very week photoshop skills

and its got a bit where it says this

Now go to Filter>Distort>Polar Coordinates and leave the default settings. Click OK. Go to Filter>Blur>Radial Blur and change the amount to 35 and leave the rest of the settings alone. Now go to Image>Adjustments>Auto Contrast. Your image should now look like this one:

the thing is tho that is meant to do this

but it doesnt it does the laya instead so it screws with the layer and not the contents of the layer

herees the tutorial

Hmmm, did you go back thru some of the steps? I was able to follow the tut step by step. Mine didn't look exactly... couldn't quite line the lens flare dead smack in the center.

What step are you having problems with?

Edit: another way to colorize this without using a filled layer on top and set the layer property to color, would be to use image > adjustments > hue/saturation check colorize. Or ctrl + U.
