Stamp your brushes as for example my blend 'september' see above but stay parallel. Duplicate layers Mirror image Image - add borders of 1 px black Save as a . jpg file After this you can use OptikVerveLabs for the enthusiasts.
Extra example: I've added 2 more applications: After the very last edit you do this: Shift + d, Script: Airbrush and Ink, let the script do its work, then edit - copy Go back to your original, first apply Filter OptikVerveLabs (Ambience). Edit - paste as a new layer Layer Palette: Soft light, and one obtains the effect as below depending on the images you use. This lesson is written by @nn. Tube: Yoka
