Water Ripple
1. First, open a new file with the dimensions 400 x 400 pixels and reset your colors (ctrl+d) then go to Filter > Render > Clouds.
2. Next, go to Filter > Blur > Radial Blur and use the settings Amount = 40, Method = Spin, Quality = Best.
3. Now, go to Filter > Sketch > Bas Relief and use the settings: Detail = 13, Smoothness = 10.
4. Now it's time to make it look like water using the chrome effect so go to Filter > Sketch > Chrome and use these settings: Detail = 6, Smoothness = 2.
5. Finally, we just need to add some color so press Ctrl+U to go to the Hue Ajustment Settings and change the settings to: Colorize, Hue = 205, Saturation = 25, Lightness = 0. That's it!
Good Luck

10. Duplicate this layer again
11. Now go to Filter >> Distort >> Twirl. Set to -200
12. Lighten layer. See step 8.

1. Let's start off by creating a 500x500 document, preferably with a white background. To begin, make sure that your colors are at their defaults (Black + White) (D).
2. Go to Filter > Render > Clouds, then Filter > Render > Difference Clouds.
3. Next go up to Image > Adustments > Invert.
4. Then you want to go to Image > Adjustments > Levels and slide the middle arrow completely to the right.
5. You should have something like this so far.
6. Duplicate your layer and set it to "Color Dodge".
7. Create a new layer and select the color "#790000", you can play around with other colors, but this is just one that we're using for this. Fill the layer with the chose color and set it the layer to "Soft Light".
8. Switch to your first, original layer. Go to Filters > Render > Lens Flare. On this layer you will be placing simple Lens Flares to give the sense of it giving off light. When doing this, you will want to attempt to place the flare on large spots of white, as shown in the given pic. You will need to have the flare set to the "105mm Prime" lens type and 100% Brightness.
9. Keep repeating step 8 until you feel that you've gotten enough on there to suit your needs.

Smoke Effect
Smoke Effect
1. Step one, open a new image, it doesn't really matter what size but be sure to set your background color to black. (this effect generally looks its best on a black background.) Make a new layer and select the "Polygonal lasso tool" and create an abstract shape that looks similar to the example below.(It doesn't really matter what color you use here either, but just don't make it too dark, and feel free to experiment.)
2. Now we can start our highlights of our smoke. Select the "Dodge" tool and make the brush size around "50" and the "Range" to "highlights." Now use this tool around the edges and corners of your shape. Next, select the "Burn tool" and use it in the middle and wherever you see fit. You should have somthing that looks like this:
3. Here we can make it look like smoke now. Go to "filter"/"Distort"/"Wave." And make the settings as follows:
- Generators "5"
- Wavelength "10"/"120"
- Amplitude "5"/"35"
- Scale at "100%" for both.
4. Right after you have used the "wave" filter you can go to "Edit"/"Fade-Wave" and set the opacity to "50%." Now repeat this distort and fade method many times, or untill you think it looks best.
5. To make this effect look even better you may have to "distort", resize, and change the blending modes when fading a bit. And lastly, to make it different colors instead of the same throughout. make a new layer and use the "brush" tool all over the place using different colors. then set that layers "blending mode" to "Overlay." And there you have it, a simple yet effective smoke method!
It's amazing what you can do with some Adobe Photoshop training and a little time!

Smoke
Smoke
1. Choose your smoking object
In this case it's a gun. Guns only smoke for a second after you shoot them but there are certain liberties the entertainment industry takes with physics. Like spaceships making rumblesounds and firey exposions in the vacuum of space. Smoking guns just add drama to a picture.
2. Airbrush
On a new layer airbrush some grey over the origin of the smoke. Use a soft brush setting and a lower opacity.
3. Spatter fun
Now we need some "pepper". Change you airbrushes setting to "dissolve" and shoot some white and black particles onto the grey spot. Not too many, just enough to smear.
4. Smudge
Grab the smudge tool (looks like a pointing finger) and smear the pixels upward in an "S" like motion. Don't worry if the effect is too severe right now, just smooth it all out.
5. Finishing Effects
Grab your eraser tool and set it to airbrush with a soft brush setting and trim out the unwanted smoke. Use the dodge and burn tools to add highlites and shadows to the smoke. Re-smear any pixels or effects that look "too hard".
Lower the smoke layers opacity to taste.
Good Luck
Power Blast
Power Blast
1. Choose your source.
The blast has to come from somewhere. We put a circle here for tutorial purposes but you just pretend it's a gun muzzle or someones hand.
2. Make the base of the bolt
Use the polygon lasso tool and click out a blast beam selection in perspective like you see here.Make sure it's on it's own layer. Fill it with a good bolt color...light blues, purples, greens and reds are good. Make sure it's a bright color high on the saturation.
3. Getting in touch with your inner bolt
Now create a new blank layer above the outer bolt. ctrl+click on the outerbolt layer to make the bolt a selection. Contract this selection by a few pixels and fill this new contracted selection with white on it's own layer. You should now have something like you see here.
4. Blurry
Apply a gaussian blur to each layer. Play with the settings... We used a 2.5 pixel blur...you may need less or more depending on the size of your picture.
This technique also makes a good light saber.
5. snap, crackle, pop
On another new blank layer, grab your paintbrush, set it to 1 pixel, 100% opacity, normal blendingmode and brush out some lightning forks along the beam.
6. Glow
If you have photoshop 5 or higher you can apply the "OuterGlow" layer effect to the lightning layer. Use the eyedropper to select the outer glow color from the beam itself and then you're done.
Good Luck
Lighting Effects
Lighting Effects
1. First of all create a new image and then right away create a new layer. Also set the background color as black, (the image size I used here is 350X500). Now make a selection one pixel wide and make it cover the whole length. Fill this selection in with white.
2. Next you have to go to Filter > Distort > Wave. The settings are as follows, [Generators - 5], [Wavelenth - 225/299], [Amplitude - 5/35], and [Scale - 100/100]. Now you have a wavey line, Apply an outer glow and transform and duplicate it a bit to look like this. ( Or experiment, I am just giving you an idea of how this is done.) I made the light balls with the gradient tool set to "radial."
3. You can now start to add detail, smaller particals and some dodges. This effect is easy, but it really depends on how much time you want to spend doing it. It really starts to look good on 3D explosions in abstracts. I went ahead doing a little more detail using the same techniques and styles.
