(Page 1 of 3) In this tutorial inspired by the coming Christmass season, you will learn to create glass orbs, put objects into them, and insert the orbs themselves into background.
1. First of all we will create an orb. Create a new file - 200x200, 72 dpi (the size can be different, depending on the size and resolution of your background image)
2. Go to Edit > Fill and fill the image with 50% grey.
3. Go to Filter > Render > Lens flare. Add 105 mm Prime lens flare, 100%, out of the the center.
4. Go to Filter > Distortion > Polar coordinates. Choose Polar to Rectangular
5. Go to Image > Rotate Canvas, 180 degrees.
6. Go to Filters > Distortions > Polar coordinates, set Rectangular to Polar
7. Choose elliptical marquee and starting from one of the corners make a selection of the ball you've created.
8. Open the image you will use as background and make a copy layer*.
9. Copy the orb selection and paste it into the file with the background image. The orb will automatically be pasted onto new layer.
