We'll be creating an image like the one on the
left.
You can download the center action here |
 |
Step 1
Create a new image, 400 x 400 in size and fill it with black, then go to filter | texture | grain and set both sliders to 100 and the grain type to soft. |
 | Step 2
Go to image | adjustments | hue/saturation (ctrl + u) and check the colorize box, then put the saturation slider to 0 and the lightness to +10 |
 | Step 3
Go to filter | blur | radial blur and put the following settings: Amount: 4 Method: Zoom Quality: Best |
 | Step 4
Select the rounded rectangle tool and create a rectangle anywhere on the image, the width should be 226 and height should be 132

Step 6
Ctrl + click the layer then click the eye icon next to it, we need it later, select the first layer then press ctrl + u, check the colorize box then put 113 in the hue box and 40 in the saturation box, click ok. DO NOT DESELECT |
 | Step 7
Create a new layer and fill it with black, go to select | modify | contract and type 1 and click ok, press delete, deselect |
 | Step 8
Now we need to create the crosshair, create a new layer and select the elliptical marquee tool, create a 14 x 14 selection and fill it with a light blue, I used 00B4FF, go to select | modify | contract and put 2 in the box, click ok and press delete, center it (step 6 if you haven't got my action) and set the layer opacity to 60 %
|
| | Step 9
For the text select the type tool and choose Arial black as your font, size 12 pixels, and the blue you used earlier type 2X or whatever zoom factor you want, then using the move tool put it in the lower left hand corner of the green area, set the layer opacity to 60%
