Matrix Style Cyber Effect ( Photoshop Tutorial )

This is a simple effect, but one that I really enjoyed doing because I think it looks very good for how easy it is.
So here goes.

Open up a new image.Use the size 200 x 200, then make the background white, and make the colors black and white (a shortcut to do this is just to press "D" on your keyboard)

Now go to Filter > Render > Difference Clouds.

Now repeat this filter untill the cloud looks pretty good. ( important )

Then go to Filter > Pixelate > Mosaic. Change the cell size to about 10, you can change this around, it all depends on how big you want the cyber effect to be.

Now go to Filter > Blur > Radial Blur.

Change the ammount to around 30, the Blur Method to Zoom and the quality to Best.

Then click on 'ok'.

Now go to Filter > Stylize > Emboss.

Use the settings below:
Angle = 135º
Height = 5
Strength = 250%
Now click on 'ok' and go to Filter > Brush Strokes > Accented Edges. Use the settings shown below:
Width = 2
Brightness = 50
Smoothness = 5

Then click on 'ok'.
Now it should look something like you have seen in the Matrix but there is still some more work to do.

To change the colour, go to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation, make sure colourize is checked, then play about with the Hue and Saturation untill you get the colour you desire.
