Introduction
This is my first tutorial so don't be too harsh ;)...
This will give you some tips and tricks in PhotoShop which I learnt.
I) HyperSpace effect.
Create a new Document, any size.
Get your colors like this :
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp281/Purevil_X/Colors.jpg
Or anything approximate.
Create a new layer.
Apply some clouds :

Result :
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp281/Purevil_X/Result1.jpg
Approximately.
Now, pixelate them, go into :
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp281/Purevil_X/Mezzotint.jpg
And choose :
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp281/Purevil_X/Mediumlines.jpg
Result :
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp281/Purevil_X/Result2.jpg
Now, you're almost done, go into :
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp281/Purevil_X/RadialBlur.jpg
And take these settings :

You'll end up with this :

II)Flowers
Create a new document, any size.
Create a new layer and apply a black and white gradient from top to bottom :
(Tip : hold shift while drawing the layer to make it straight down.)
Result :

Apply some waves, go to :
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp281/Purevil_X/LocationWave.jpg
And choose (approx) these settings :
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp281/Purevil_X/Wavesettings.jpg
You should get something close to this :
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp281/Purevil_X/ResultWaves.jpg
Last steps !
Apply some polar coordinates :
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp281/Purevil_X/LocPC.jpg
Click OK and you should get something similar to this :
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp281/Purevil_X/ResultPC.jpg
To get different results, play around with wave settings ;).
III) Pen Tool
Pen tool is one of the most important tools in PhotoShop you may find it here :
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp281/Purevil_X/Pentoolloc.jpg
To use this trick, you'll need to have this setting :
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp281/Purevil_X/PenToolsettings.jpg
Once you have these settings, lets begin.
Create a new file, with any dimensions.
Color your background (unless you have another background) in anything but white (chose black here).
Create a new layer and choose pen tool.
Click anywhere on the canvas, you should get this :
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp281/Purevil_X/Result1-2.jpg
Click Somewhere else on the canvas and while holding down clicked, move the mouse around a bit, you should get a curved line :
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp281/Purevil_X/Result2-1.jpg
Keep going (clicking somewhere on canvas and draging) until you get something satisfying, something curvy and nice ;).
Example :
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp281/Purevil_X/Result3.jpg
Now, choose your brush tool located here :
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp281/Purevil_X/Brushtoolloc.jpg
And get these settings :
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp281/Purevil_X/BrushSettings.jpg
(Smoother 5 pixel brush if you can't see).
Get a white color.
Choose your pen tool again and right click on the path (grey line on canvas) and choose this option :
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp281/Purevil_X/Option.jpg
Take these settings :
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp281/Purevil_X/StrokePathSettings.jpg
Click OK and right click on the path (again) and choose this option :
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp281/Purevil_X/Options2.jpg
With my curve, I got a smooth curve ;).
Experience with different curves, colors, brushes !!! There are many possibilities !
I'll post more soon ;).
