Glass texture

Step 1

Open a new Photoshop document with the size 640 x 480.
Set the foreground colour to #6edbff and the background colour to #000000.

Step 2

Select Filter > Render > Clouds and you should get the following pattern.

Step 3

Select Filter > Artistic > Plastic Wrap and add the following settings:

Highlight strength = 10
Details = 5
Smoothness = 3

Step 4

Select Filter > Distort > Glass and add the following settings below:

Distortion = 10
Smoothness = 3
Texture = Tiny Lens
Scaling = 80%

Step 5

Now duplicate the current layer by selecting Ctrl + J and change the blend mode to ‘Screen’.

You should now have a glass texture effect.
