How to create those blurry
spacey backgrounds?
Create a new file and draw some circles in a new layer. (You can create a circle by using the round selection tool. Hold SHIFT to create a perfectly round circle, and afterwards, use EDIT > STROKE).
Which color you use for doing this, doesn't really
matter. Now, take any picture, and make a couple of copies of this file. Transform them
to a color you like by using
FILTER > BLUR >
