let's get out a photo of a random person, and make sure it's a very large photo!

02.
Go to Image>Adjustments>Threshold and choose a setting that will suit your photo;

03.
Then go to Select>Color Range and click anywhere on the black area;
Then copy it to a new document and resize it!

04.
Besides erasing unwanted parts, leave this be, and go search for other photo's to apply the same effect on.Try to search for anything with curves in it. You can use ANY photo;Each shape, you should place on a new layer so that you can always remove it if you find a better outcome!

05.
After that, use the standard shape in Photoshop for inque or blood and place a few of that around the document;

06.
Merge the layers together by pressing CTRL+E;

07.
Duplicate this layer and hide the original, then go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur, and choose a desired setting;

08.
Go to Filter>Texture>Grain and choose 100, 0 and Horizontal;

09.
Then go to Filter>Blur>Motion Blur and choose 90 degrees and a easy setting;

010.
Do the same step, only with 0 degrees;

011.
Place this blurred layer BEHIND the original;

012.
Add this layer-style to the original layer:
In the video-clip, many colors were used. You can use any color really. But make sure you got mathing colors like Purple-Blue, Orange-Green, Violet-Yellow and Red-LimeGreen.

013.
And then your Inkblot will look like this:

Kinda confusing.
do you know how to change the color of the photoshop itself?
all i can do is change the background of the panel thing on the new image thing :(
totally awesome!
nice :)
Never mind about that last comment, I messed up by flattening the image. The layers aren't supposed to be merged with the background, just so everyone knows. Awesome tutorial wo/man! thanks
I am having the same problem as fabi21, the only thing I can think is you told us to merge all the layers too soon. But if that isn't it, please help me.
