The new season of Heroes is on and it’s really good. While I was watching the last episode I saw the opening credits and I thought to myself, why I haven’t done that effect yet. So I decided to create the Heroes eclipse effect in Photoshop with a litle extra retro style.
So in this tutorial I will show you how to create a nice eclipse effect using only Photoshop. We will add a texture in the end just to give that retro feel to the image.
Step 1
Open Photoshop and create a new documento. Add a new layer and with the Gradient Tool (G), fill the background with a Radial Gradient from black to a very light grey in the center.
