    Where’s your friend when you need him?

    Yeah, fractal noise and maybe some third party plug in?

    Looks like a glass/paint daub effect?

    Hmm, paint daub. Possibly. I only know my friend online and he isn’t very cooperative. 🙁

    You could probably manage an effect similar to that with a clever use of fractal noise, the glass distortion, an overlaid black and white gradient, and an adjustment layer using Colorama with a custom gradient.

    Maybe a little displacement mapping for good measure. That’s just at first glance, though.

    I was going to recommend playing with a combination of a Radial Gradient, Fractal Noise, Texturize (or CC Glass or another similar effect) and Colorama. You beat me to the punch ;P

    Visit theanvel.com and look for his freebies for Fractals. A wee bit of experimentation and you’ll be making stuff like this in a few hours.

    DOH! I just dropped by Dean’s site and he has RETIRED most of his best and coolest freebies. You must pay for them now. Good luck with THAT, Dean.

    This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
