Emboss background #2


1. First, create a new RGB image (File\New...) with the measurements 128*128, 256*256 or 512*512 (I used 128*128 for this example) with a white background.



2. Go to Filter\Noise\Add Noise... with Amount: 999, Uniform checked and Monochromatical checked.



3. Go to Filter\Transform Pixels\Crystalize with the setting 3.



4. Use Filter\Other\Offset with width and height 64 (if 128*128, 128 if 256*256, 256 if 512*512 etc.) and Wrap Around checked.




5. Now use Filter\Stylize\Emboss with these settings: Angle=140 Height=2 Amount=50%. You can also use other settings. After that, you can invert the image by using Image\Adjust\Inverse.


The first image wasn't inverted, but the second one was.


6. Now use Image\Adjust\Hue/Saturation with Colorize checked. And it should look something like this (if you hade the settings Hue=241 Saturation=50 Lightness=-20):




And here is the image when inverted in step 5.
