[ANdeeRoemoe]

O_o

[MissKG1111]

You are so talented! GORGEOUS JOB!!!!!

[greenvillesctouristg]

nice and creative

[giacoppogianluca]

ehm...nice tecnhique but it's far from being realistic

[vstryker96]

Great yeee

[man0204]

incredible. grate work. i wish i could make such grate art work :)

[dolores121859]

I have had cs5 for about 2 weeks and and I I photoshop is new to me but agree once you do this a few times its not so hard it just takes time but so much fun and add so much to my fractal art work...it did go a little fast for me but am thankful you did this!

[Brenniman65]

How do you people seriously think that by doing a rush through presentation like that that anybody is going to follow your tutorial. Slow down, cut the crappy music, and explain as you go in detail.

[candido15]

yes! great!!!

[montiagan]

great work

[Sikraj]

you know, I really wish youtube would allow for 20 minute videos, I tried to upload a vid that was 20 min and it was removed :(

@kariokiinoc

"PhotoShop Glass/Crystal BALL/Orb. Better glass distortion!"

This video was not meant to be a step by step tutorial, hence, the phrase "tutorial", and "how to" were not in the title.

[dugy40]

please do it again and slow down, talking us through would be even better

[Arvindvsharma]

Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dakidrick]

why so fast :(

[ArlithCake]

@dakidrick I wish it was slower too! lol

[Dan26G]

yourr going too fast :(

but still pretty cool effect!

[huntedchic]

beautiful,

[eastsaintlouis62203]

can this be done in cs1 and pse8?

[fret2424]

@eastsaintlouis62203 I'm pretty sure it can be done in CS1 (the video was made in CS2). as far as ps8, I don't know.

[krysanth00]

Looks amazing. you make it look easy! (unfortunately it's not)

[fret2424]

@krysanth00 It may seem difficult, but after a few times, it really is easy, once you have an understanding of the fundamentals of photoshop.

[iecereal]

good

[iecereal]

how do you copy layer with the same shape?

[fret2424]

@iecereal Use the select tool, to select the area to be copied, and select Layer/New Layer via Copy. To select the shape of an existing layer, option+click the thumbnail of that layer, and will make a selection of the area used in any existing layer.

how do you copy layer with the same shape?

[chubacaforce]

its awesome but could u make it more slow please im just a beginner!!!

[joanyau111]

[HelloChello33]

thats pretty neat (:

i'm going to try this some day

[mrdevi]

it rocks!!!

[graphicsite]

Thanks a lot for this video...it is very amazing and the result looks fabulous.

Regards from Switzerland.

[traceSRB]

VERY COOL VID. MAKE MORE!!! :D

[hecklerjh420]

Amazing vid, great captions and easy to follow. Great Job!

[SkinnyTiesFTW]

What program/software did you use? Photoshop?

[fret2424]

@SkinnyTiesFTW

"What program/software did you use? Photoshop'?

This was done on Photoshop CS2

[bustedwawa]

I think the first reflection is better. this is aawesome.

[petmay13]

how can you shape the shadow in 1:16?

[fret2424]

@petmay13 "how can you shape the shadow in 1:16"?

Select the layer containing the shadow, then select the "move" tool (Top right, of the tool bar). The image will have a dotted square outline with a tiny box on each side, and on each corner. Grab one of the tiny boxes and drag to shrink/squeeze the image.

If you are doing this to resize (not to squeeze) the image, use a corner box, and hold the shift key to lock proportions.

I hope that helps! :o)

[dimovic100]

cool

[NirvashZ]

I have to agree that you were moving pretty fast for me to catch on...but I like the tutorial....it was awsome! ^_^

[GSfancier]

I am trying to put a picture into a peice of jewelery and need to merge into an orb. Canta figure it out exactly. Any tips?

[Davion474]

great but too fast

[woomar91]

amazing .. too fast !!!

[MyAnthony9]

Great, but I absolutely am not THAT talented!

[StrikeMarauder]

Slowdown pls!

[starmars5]

Pretty cool. What's the song, and who's it by?

[fret2424]

Song credits are at the end of the video, I can't remember what it was.

[tahiralijan]

A perfect and time saving technique, thanks fret2424!

[sollembum78]

Awsome video. And btw intro of song reminds linkin park with you scratch beat.

[23onken]

cool, but I need to have it sloooowed sown a bit.

[guitarastig]

thats cool

[J0CK3Rboy08]

i like it ;) well done !

[bconte88]

i think it looked good

[NtlgntNrg]

Nice! Now make a chrome object (logo, etc.) with a reflection on it :) Now that's a challenge!

[ALFERSEPO]

;) nice

[leonidhaimov]

awesome!

[patchasaheb]

thanks

[atheeqrahman]

Man you are really funny so fast!

[cometstrike]

maybe just a small impression in the sand to to simulate weight of orb, but ya good job, love the song, having trouble finding it, also maybe a bit slower or more instructions

[Juddy124]

it looks like a pokeball at 0:56 lo

[poisonkid]

very good

[Noctizss]

Very good tutorial man really thank you very much i really needed this :D

can you please tell me the name of the song please?

Nice tutorial!

[ChrisFromRomania]

hahaha great bro ... its a lil hard for me to do all what you do i want to know as welll wat program u used to make the video?

[fret2424]

Thanks for the complement, and thanks for watching!

I use a program called iShowU to capture my screen while working. Then I use IMovie (apple) to edit and add music, credits etc.

[o111o111]

Thank you fret2424

Good idea

[ChemicalJehuty]

Awesome idea !!! I'll try that myself - nice sound too, but - hell, that's a fast vid !! Gonna have to watch that a couple of more times before I can do that myself :o)

[RAOMINHAJ1]

Really Great work.

fet2424 is a good designer. Thanks

[RAOMINHAJ1]

What a great work,

fet2424 is really a designer.

[felixnogood]

it helped me and is a good vision of a cristal ball but i think that the reflexion of the dots was more realistic than the oval and gradient :D Just my opinion

[fret2424]

I have to agree, in sunlight the two small soft reflections are more realistic. The oval reflection would be better suited to express indoor lighting.

Thanks for watching!

[Dennedr]

it;s cool xD

[hector1364]

the name of the song is? :D

[fret2424]

The name of the song is: "watch the video till the end to get the name of the band, then Google it". :o)

[Gianlu934ever]

fico!!!

[fret2424]

Unless this refers to my credit score, I'm assuming that this is in a different language. Hmmmm a 4 letter "f" word? I wonder what it means.

[Gianlu934ever]

cool! XD

[lcabosa]

portuguese, meaning " i stay ", diferente way of complement.

[fret2424]

LOL thanks for the clarification, not even close to what I thought it meant. :o)

[Shonbi]

Aww. I was hoping to get some kinda distorting overlay. D:

[fret2424]

if there is a way to make a transparent layer distort the underlying layers in a way similar to the way glass does, it must be a secret because I've never seen it.

[FluffnRipples]

How do you warp the ball???

I couldn't remember! :(

[CoolBlackKnight]

Man, that was nice. Too fast for me to see what was done, but I applaud the end result.

.....

[fret2424]

Thanks for the complement!

I know it's fast, I wanted it to be interesting for those who are not photoshoppers, as well. I did annotate every step, so with use of the pause button, one could work at a normal pace.

[nasxkcas]

pretty cool

[FeetsAndButts]

YOU THE MAN

Advanced video

Very nice

5 star stuff.

[richpickins]

[ArsKopp11]

Wow! Dude! RESPECT!

[fret2424]

[bigcarp1976]

Way to fast to work out what you was doing, alittle slower would be alot more helpful.

But good results in the end

[binbin9]

That was amazing Thanks for the detailed tutorial!!

[nitrostealth6]

Epic work mate well done. ;D

[katdaug]

[fret2424]

Thank You!

[fret2424]

Tried to do a step by step, with verbal instruction, and the video was almost 20 min. maybe I'll try it again and see if I can get the time down.

[MadKittan]

could be very usefull if it was abit slower and more instructions

[elitevids2]

looks realistic, and its quik

[GermanTutorials]

too fast sorry

[Karmacabre]

hindi

[fret2424]

You're quite welcome! I'm not sure what a "Project Codles" is, but I'm glad you liked the video!

[CHUBZY04]

[courtneymccaw]

Thanks so much, this helped my project oodles.

[AltoAlcance]

wow...very good but quikly

[fret2424]

Thank you!

[furvert101]

woo hoo!!! yes better! maybe if you did a rippled glass filter type effect on it, you could blend that for a uneven surface too... just a thought. good one!
