Tutorial: How to create big popart circle in Photoshop

December, 12th update: How to create big pop art circle in Photoshop, VIDEO tutorial

Little update: please make sure to set up the image in Grayscale mode before applying the filter.

And, please, please: it has to be done on a background layer! Don’t create a new layer.

Create a new document in Photoshop. Make sure it is in equally proportional dimensions (like 600×600 pixels or similar). Fill it in using „Radial gradient“ from black (inside) to transparent (outside).

  1. it DOES work for cs3, at first it didnt, i opened the document as a grayscale and it didnt work, but then i opened a new one and then converted it and it worked, hope it helped

  2. djorsh it works in PS CS3, please make sure to set up the image in “Grayscale” (B&W) before applying the Filter! Also, it has to be done on a background layer! Don’t create a new layer (2 common mistakes)
