This tutorial will describe how to make a Mac style background. You can use it on many occasions, such as desktop wallpaper, as part of your design, or PowerPoint backgrounds, flash works, and so on. In fact, there is absolutely no need to follow the steps of this tutorial, and you can play it at your own discretion.

1. Create a new canvas, set the background to black, and draw the rectangle to add a linear gradient (I set the canvas size to 1280x1024px).

Choose two kinds of orange to make fine linear gradients (this tutorial gradient settings: #e56b15-#d03403).

2. New Layer

Using the Polygon Lasso tool, draw the triangular selection as shown in the following figure.

Select the Brush tool, choose a large diameter soft angle brush (brush diameter 300px or other), brush opacity set to 15%, along the selection edge, through multiple drawing to create a white fade effect, note that White can not be too strong.

3. Set the blending mode of the layer that contains the white gradient to "overlay".

New Layer

For example, use the polygonal lasso tool to draw a similar triangular selection, the brush color is set to black, and the brush is applied to draw the black fade effect (you can also use the gradient tool to make the fade color set to black to transparent)

4. Set the blending mode of the layer on which the black gradient is superimposed and the opacity set to 34%.

New Layer

Use the Pen tool to draw the following beautiful curve path. The trick is to lengthen the line of anchor points as you draw.

Back up the path and get the selection.

5. Within the selection, use the gradient tool to draw a white to transparent gradient. Layer Blending mode is "overlay", the effect is as follows:

6. New Layer

Use the Pen tool to create the following interesting path, Ctrl+enter to get a selection.

7. In the selection, use a black brush to draw the black fade effect reference to the following figure:

Do not cancel the selection and use it below.
