How to make a quick background for GFX

[Kanon]

Sup, everyone?

1.Find and save a picture. (It can be ANY picture, even your photo... Whatever.)
Here's my random pick

2.Open Photoshop up.

3.Place your picture in a new file.

4.Now, Filter>Blur>Motion Blur

And make any changes you want.

5. When you're done, Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation.

And use any color you want. Just make sure you've clicked "Colorize".

Here's how mine looks so far.

6. When you're done, Image>Adjustments>Curves.

Make any changes you want, again.

So, this is how my picture looks so far.

[Bonus] When you're done, create a new layer, and draw something with your pic's color, or any color you like.

Now, Filter>Blur>Motion Blur. And make any changes you want, AGAIN.

8. Now you can mess with opacity/blending mode, and all that stuff.

And, you're done!

This is what mine looks like.

Hope you like it.

EDIT: Fixed, with some better grammar. (I HOPE it's better, atleast.)
