This tutorial will teach you how to create creative desktop wallpaper for your desktop.

Start working by creating a new file (File>New) of 1920×1200px/72dpi with black background.

Insert a picture, having represented on it the sunset.

Set the next selection Filter>Blur>Gaussian blur for the picture’s layer.

Select the fragment like the one from below, enlarge the picture and displace it with the Move Tool (V).

Create a new layer and use on it a standard brush of black color to dark out the right lowest corner.


Create a new layer and try to represent here a line like the one from below. Using the Elliptical Marquee Tool (M), try to draw the zone reserved for the line.

Applying the standard brush mentioned above and white color, we may represent the inside zone of the marked part.

The layer’s parameters: Blending mode-Soft Light

Make a copy of the recently represented layer containing the line and then select the Free Transform option to turn over the copy and move it to the right side. Set the next option for the copy’s layer: Filter>Blur>Gaussian blur


Make two copies of the layer containing the line and choose again the Free Transform option to change the position of the copies’ layer the same way demonstrated below:


Next we’ll make a copy of the layer containing the line which had been processed with the option from here -Filter>Blur>Gaussian blur. Using the Free Transform option, try to place the copy the same way demonstrated next picture:

Next we’ll draw a round highlight on the right top part of the picture. Then we’ll select the Elliptical Marquee Tool (M) and a standard brush to paint the edges of the marked zone the same way we did with the representation of the ornament line.


Opacity 30%, Select also: Filter>Blur>Gaussian blur


Set the next parameters for the layer: Blending mode-Overlay

Make a copy of the recently made layer:

Use the same method we did with the round highlight’s representation to insert a vertical line on our picture:

Select a standard brush of white color, Filter>Blur>Gaussian blur (5px), Blending mode-Overlay

Make a copy of the layer containing the vertical line and choose Free Transform option to change the copy’s placement the same way demonstrated below:

Find in Internet a picture with a car. Cut it out and insert it on our picture.

Make a copy of the layer containing the car. Place the copy’s layer lower and choose for it the next selection:Filter>Blur>Motion Blur


Choose the next parameters for the filter’s layer: Blending mode-Linear Dodge

Make another copy of the very first layer containing the car and place it above the other layers with the car. Set for the layer the next selection: Filter>Blur>Gaussian blur


The layer’s parameters: Fill - 68%, Blending mode-Darker

Create a new layer and use on it a standard brush mentioned earlier and use the white color to represent a kind of illuminations behind the car. Place this layer under the car’s layers, on the layers’ palette.

The layer’s parameters: Fill - 48%, Blending mode-Overlay

Make a copy of the last made layer, situating the copy above the previous one and changing the parameters for the copy’s layer. Fill - 55%, Blending mode-Linear light

Combine in a group all the layers containing the lines, being represented before inserting the car’s picture (pressCtrl button to mark out the corresponding layers and hold on the left mouse’s button to take the marked layers onCreate a new group option). Make a copy of the group we have got and choose Free Transform option to turn over the group and place it the same way as it is shown below:

Download a set of brushes for Adobe Photoshop, named Swirls.
Create a new layer and use here the brushes out of the mentioned set. They have white color. Place the layer with the brushes lower than the car’s layers (on the layers’ palette).


The layer’s parameters: Fill - 61%

Create a new layer and insert here an ornament made with the earlier downloaded brushes. The layer’s parameters: Fill - 67%

On the next layer we’ll select again the brushes, having white color.

The layer’s parameters: Fill - 65%, Blending mode-Pin light
