How to make a crystal ball with PS?

1. Create a new image with 200*200 pixels.

2. Create a new layer of 1 and use the elliptical marquee tool to make a circular selection.

3. Save the selection as channel Alpha 1 and copy it as Alpha2.

4. In the Alpha2 channel, load its selection and use the filter-blur-Gaussian blur for three times, with radii of 27, 18 and 9 respectively.

5. Return to the layer 1, load the selection of Alpha 1, select lavender fill, use filter-rendering-lighting effect, use full light source, channel is Alpha2, and select white bump.

6. Feather the selection by 7 pixels, and then invert it. Like Yu Pei, adjust to the effect of upper darkness and lower light.

7. Use the "Image-Adjust-Levels" command to manually adjust the levels of RGB, red, green and blue channels to make them look better.

8. Load the Alpha 1 selection, feather 1 pixel, invert the selection, and then use the delete command to delete the bad edges.

9. Deselect and add the shadow layer effect.

10, create a new layer 2, use an airbrush to make highlights, and then choose the appropriate color to fill the background, and the production is complete.
