Instant "Psycadelic" Background

[Welles]

I just read this one in a monthly tip sheet for Mac users. It comes originally from Scott Kelby. It's simple and fun to see.

Open a new image and either create a new layer or make the background layer into a floating layer by double clicking. Use the gradient tool and choose the stock Adobe gradient 'Spectrum'. Run the gradient across the whole canvas and then change the blend mode to Difference and draw the gradient in different directions. Voil?...

I love it!
It looks like an aurora borealis gone mad or is it an acid flashback from the '60's

I hope that you don't have projects like that all the time Linda.
Is that the only way to stay competive in your area?

Would be terrible for a guy like me; I need at least 6 hours a day. :\

I've done 36 hours and even a lot more, but I can't say that I was as productive at the end as in the beginning.
