Create a new image in Photshop. The bigger, the better! (as demonstrated in the above picture verses this background.)

Select any color on the color platte. (preferably not black, and for this tutorial, red works great!)

Edit>Fill then click "OK".

now's the fun part....

Filter>Render>Difference Clouds

Hold down Ctrl on your keyboard (hopefully you're using a PC...) and then keep hitting the F key to make the background all funky. After hitting it about 7 times, move on.

Image>Adjust>Hue/Saturation (Or just Ctrl+U). This will bring up a little box.

Check the "colorize" box on the right side.

Next, under the "Hue:" thingee, drag the arrow until it makes your image a bluish color.

OK.

Hit Ctrl+F about 5 times now.

Now it should start looking better. You can anytime you want now just save it as it is if it looks really good, or just keep repeating these steps:

Ctrl+U to bring up that dialog box again. You can either drag the arrow under "Hue:" right now or first check off the "colorize" box first. If you choose the "colorize" box, drag the arrow so this time it's a greenish color. Then click OK.

Ctrl+F any amount of times you want. 16 usually turns out good, though...

Ctrl+U AGAIN. This time, drag it onto any color you want if you have "colorize" checked. If not, you can play around with the "Hue:" and "Saturation:" things right now as they are without "colorize" being checked.... If you drag the Saturation arrow all the way to the right, it will look really colorful and freaky, but if you drag it to the left, ZZZZZ... I would keep doing the "colorize" thing and the Ctrl+F techniques over and over until you're satisfied.. that's all!

PLEASE NOTE: The more times you keep hitting Ctrl+F, the more it will lose its colors... (If you hit it about a million times, that is.) Otherwise, just play around with it until you get the results you wanted! Also, you don't have to make the Hue: colors what I said; once you have made a few of these "paintings" and understand how it works, you can play around with it a lot, and really get cool effects! Also, instead of changing the color hue every time, you can also change your foreground color and background color often to get REALLY cool effects!! Play around with it! And if you have a picture, use the chrome filter on it (with everything on the slider set to 10,) and then use this sweet iredescent/tiedye effect, it will look WILD!! It's almost like water... but colored. Cloudy. Yet very cool!
