This effect was generated in Filter Forge, a Photoshop plugin that allows you to create your own filters.
This filter creates weird dream-like effects.
The Threshold sliders adjust the contrast (between a dark and light gamma effect).
The New Color sliders create new colors to tint the image.
The Blur Light & NC slider causes the New Colors and parts on the light side of the Threshold to be blurred. (Keep it at 0 for faster renders.)
The Master sliders add final changes to the whole image.
