Following a tutorial (http://www.lunacore.com/photoshop/tutorials/tut009.htm ), a glass ball was created and all layers were put into a folder. A selection was made and the selected area in the source was spherized.
step 2 of 11
step 3 of 11
The glass ball folder was duplicated and the copy size was decreased. Repeating the process in step 1, a selected area in the source was spherized.
step 4 of 11
One more copy of the glass ball folder was made. Same process to spherize.
step 5 of 11
Making selection of the three glass ball, one at a time, three layers were created via cut, one for each spherized area. Then three adjustment layers were created as to apply levels to the areas that were cut. It was made using masks on the adjustment layers.
