Step 9: With the left half still selected pres cntrl + j/ Duplicate the layer
Step 10: Go to edit transform flip horizontal on the layer that was just made, the duplicated half, Drag it so it fills up the rest of the canvas
Step 11: Un hide the render from step 4 and duplicate it 3 times
Step 12: Set the 1st layer to color dodge and the layer 1 copy to linear dodger and the layer 1 copy 2 leave it normal and hide it

Step 13: Smudge the color dodge and linear doge layer in these directions/half of the side this way and the other half this way
Step 14: Un hide the top layer and set the blending mode to overlay
Step 15: With your smudge out, set the size of it to 8 and smudge around the edges of the top layer

Step 16; Duplicate the layer, Set the layers blending mode to multiply, duplicate the layer one more time and se the blending option to screen
Step 17: Go all out from here and add what you feels necessary, i added a photo filter and a gradient map since there were a bunch of colors coming from the smudge

Amazing, did you do anything else other than the steps in the tutorial?
If I remember correctly I did two gradient maps and a photo filter. Oh and a light source and I used a smaller brush than the one in the tut to smudge around the render. Do you think I should use it as my sig?

And this tutorial has helped me learn how to smudge properly, I feel like I've improved at GFX thanks to this, thanks :smile:

I didn't use the right brush settings. Could you go into further detail? I couldn't figure it out.

It's the default hard round brush then just put the settings.
