How to Simulate Fractals in Photoshop Screencast

Dec 3rd in Screencasts by Gavin Steele

"Have you ever seen those outstanding fractal images with a lot of swirls and colors? Some of those were build simulating fractals or repeating shapes, where each shape is a reduced part of the whole, others were build mathematically. In this tutorial, we'll create a stylized fractal design using only Photoshop." Alvaro Guzman

    the two keyboard commands used in this tutorial are:

    cmd+alt+t (this will copy the layer and let you transform it)
    AND
    cmd+shift+alt+t (in that order) will apply that transformation to the next layer.
    see 8:56 minutes into the video :)

    This is what I come here for.. learning new techniques. This is probably the coolest trick I’ve learned so far with Photoshop. I’m not an artist (yet), so things like this really come in handy for someone like me.. you have no idea.

    Keep up the good work guys!

    Thanks :)
