Hey all, first post in "creative" forums, and also my first image.
Please rate, made using only stock photoshop filters.

Thats pretty cool but what are its practical purposes? a background maybe? it would look nice as a background could you give the filter steps X)
Looks nice, lets just look in our imagination what it looks like... I see a skull face.
If you wanted a step-by-step here it is...

Duplicate Layer

Select Both Layers
Blend Mode-DIfference
Made it myself

EDIT: you didnt rate...

Awesome, I like the grainy-sketchy characteristic to it. I could see someone layering that over a picture of a person and making their skin all charcoaled...if it was done right. I'd modify the contrast alittle so that the lights are lighter and the darks are darker, but that's mroe of a personal preference
9.5/10
it looks like a bunch of dead bodies stuffed inside potatoe bags
I like it... and I have Photoshop Elements 2, so maybe I'll have to play around with it...

10/10, nice background-thingy. And thanks for giving us the instructions on how to do it!

Looks very hard.
I wish I knew how to do it, because those instructions mean nothing to me.
( I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE PHOTOSHOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMOGGMOM)
looks like resident evil leeches!! bend your head right over the well... just like that

10/10
Look awesome.

It's me or it look like a portal ?
Id have 2 say 9-10 I like it because it looks like a guy being kicked in the chest by a ninja
Idiots, all of you! It's clearly an active Stargate!
Just joking.
man...i cant find the blend mode on elements...where is it?
ADDITION:
see...i dont know how to select both layers at the same time...it wont let me
Blending modes is in the layers tab, its a pull down menu
As long as both layers are set to visible (the eyeball) they are both selected
