I feel bad now. I just saw this tutorial at the GUG site. I promise I didn't see it before. But they are different on several steps.

The problem with this technique is that it leaves some strange looking suff near the right edge of the canvas. I've experimented with this a few months back and found that even if I revered the blur and did it again it just showed up at the other side.

I developed another simpler way of doing brushed metal, although it is less coarse(softer).

1. Create a plasma cloud with low terbulance between .5 and 1 or so.

2. Go to layers > colors > desaturate

3. Go to Filters > blurs > motion blur

Settings in motion blur are:
angle: 0
type: linear
length: maximum(266 I believe)

It's only 3 steps and creates a marvelous effect such as this.

Another way I've perfected Noclayto'smethod is to make the new layer 25 pxls wider than the image. This leaves extra color to the right of the image eliminating that ugly defomaty when you motion blur the layer.

Yeah, umm hey guys I am new (so don't be too harsh). But on step #4 at the top, what the heck is giving a text layer an outline? And how would I achieve this?
