    Embarrassing effects question

    rollsnut Community Member

      Ok, I did the “don’t do” and now don’t know what I did. I normally write things down but was in the proverbial hurry….I did it a few weeks ago and wanted to duplicate it today but….

       

      I am using PS 5.5 Creative Suite on a Windows 7 platform.

       

      On the attached I started with the center from the wood frame inwards. That is a complete image and I can re-create that easily I created a duplicate and that was my background. Everything outside the wood frame was blank. I did something to make the background abstract and fill the layer, the placed the (just the circle frame in it’s innards) over the background by un-hiding the top layer.

       

      That’s where the brains cells quit working today.

       

      Does anyone have any thoughts how I can duplicate the background...more like what did I do? I don’t have any special plug-ins for special effects so it is all PhotoShop. I apologize up front for the senior moment.

       

      Thanks in advance for any help,
