How in the world is this done?

[photoshopgeek]

Hey guys,

I'm fairly adept with photoshop, but I cannot figure this one out... I should be able to, and I know there's probably an easy solution, but I don't know it.

How in the world do I recreate the background in the pic below?

I know... It is easy, but I've been wracking my brain and can't come up with how to do it...

It's not a simple radial gradient because the background in the pic uses a gradient that run on the angle and the radius. A radial gradient just runs along the radius.

I'm think it has to do with the polar coordinates filter somehow, but I haven't been able to make that work, either.

Thanks for the help,
Ryan

Sorry for the low-res pic. It's all the client gave me.

simple radient(spectrum I think) with radial blur but that size is tough and text on top........ should be a piece of cake to come up with a similar look,especially if you've been PSGeek for some time

That's what I thought of too, at first. But the gradient(that's what I'm assuming you meant) tool sets the gradient along the radius. This background has the gradient mainly along the angle, but also has a gradient to white along the radius as well.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the gradient tool is up to it.

And as for the text, that should be easy enough. Looks like it's just a plain white text set at low opacity. Or maybe using an overlay or lighten blend.

I'm just wondering about the background.

Use several gradient layers of different types on top of each other.

First place angle spectrum gradient. Then place white to transparent radial gradient.
