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).

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)
