  • making a “color tunnel” effect

    Posted by Lou Smith on April 24, 2010 at 2:46 pm

    I’d like to create a series of circles of different colors that grow and spread out, giving the feel of falling through a tunnel of colors (like some psychadelic 60’s animation). Has anyone done this? What are some suggestions?

    I have access to Photoshop, if that makes it any easier. Thanks.

    I’d use a shape layer with the Repeater path operation.

    Actually, rather than try to explain in words, I’ll just make a project an upload it.

    [*two minutes of playing with a shape layer*]

    Here you go.

    Shape layers are fun, easy, and incredibly deep. Check ’em out.

    It’s a good start, but I only have CS3 and couldn’t open the file… Could you show it a different way? I’m going to need visuals for this.
