Two Toned Backgrounds with DSB Flux Plug-in

I made these in DIP but it should be easy to follow for other programs.

Plug-ins needed: DSB Flux. It’s free! http://www.gardendaledesigns.com/Frame011.html

Open a new canvas and size to suit.

Insert shape or line>shape>square>no line

Size the square to fit your canvas.

Select the top layer from the stack and fill with colour or texture of your choice.

Keeping this layer selected go to:

Effects/Plug-ins/DSB Flux and use the Bubble filter with the following settings:

Bubbles: 45

Density: 50

Frequency: 50

Tune: 50

Keeping the same layer selected return to DSB Flux plug-in and using the Blast filter use the following settings:

(You need to apply one setting at a time and return to the workspace before applying the next or it won't work.)

Left   Percentage: 20.  Apply and return to workspace

Go back to plug-in and:  Right    Percentage: 20.  Apply and return to workspace

Go back to plug-in and:  Upward    Percentage: 20.  Apply and return to workspace

Go back to plug-in and:  Downward    Percentage: 20.  Apply and return to workspace

This layer goes outside the canvas so at this point I resize to fit.

Select the top layer again and give it some texture if desired:  Effects/Filters/All Filters/Texture

Now select the bottom layer and fill with a contrasting colour.

Lock the layers together and resize to fit within the canvas if necessary.
