funky photoshop effects

[ravells]

I found an online tutorial about a quick way of making curtains in PS. Basically use the default Graduated fill tool, set it to 'linear' and 'difference', and draw short horizontal lines across the canvas. You can get some really funky effects with this using the radial option and then then vivid light .... just playing with all the settings, but start with the setting on 'difference'. I couldn't make anything 'mappy' out of it though (the third image almost looks like some sort of damasked material), although someone may have more luck!
