Create a Realistic Vinyl Effect
Designing a Retro Vinyl Effect in Photoshop
Step 1
Start off with a file 500×500.
Make a new layer. Get the Elliptical Marquee Tool (press M) and hold shift while dragging a Circle. Then fill that selection with black.
Now Duplicate that layer (Ctrl J), Load the Selection of the duplicated layer (Ctrl click on layer) and press Ctrl T to get in free transform. Now go into the percentages box Now go into the percentages box and set them to 40%, both, height and width.
Select the original layer and hit delete.
Delete the middle Circle (the small circle) layer. (layer 3 in my image)
Step 2
Select the Main Circle again and go to Filter>Noise>Add noise
Use these settings:
Load Selection(Ctrl click on layer) on the Main Circle. Then go Filter>Blur>Radial Blur And use these settings:
Step 3
Now use your Magic Wand Tool to select the middle of the circle.
One you have done that create a new layer and go Select>Modify>Expand and use 2pxNow fill the selection with any colour you like (I used #fa8100)
Use Blending options: Bevel And Emboss
Step 4
To get the light effect, we are going to make a Adjustment layer. Click the Adjustment layer icon
And select Levels. A window will popup, Use these settings:
You can play around with these settings later
Now fill the mask with black
Get the Gradient Tool (G). Set your Fore- and Background colour White and Black, select the Reflected Gradient box and select Foreground to Background
Then drag a Gradient like this:
Your done!
Now you should be creative and make some text and images in the middle circle!

Hi nice post, i have come across your site once before when searching for something so i was just wondering something. I love your theme, would it happen to be a free one i can download, or is it a custom one you had made? In a few weeks i will be launching my own site, i’m not great with designs but i really like the style of your site so it would be cool if i could find (or pay for) something with a similar look.
Thanks!

I’m new to PS, and I’m a little confused on step one. You state “Select the original layer and hit delete.” then you state “Delete the middle Circle (the small circle) layer. (layer 3 in my image).” If I do both of those things, the only layer I have left is my background layer. Can you please help this simple-minded newbie understand your instructions?

Thanks for sharing the information! Although your “cd” looks edgy, I thought you can actually use Stroke or something to make it smoother.
