It was a boring day so I read about photoshop tutorials. Some tutorials are for the newer versions of photoshop (CS3 and CS4) like the 3d effect but still, I tried some things that can be accomplished using my photoshop version.
This are the light effects. This are done using a lot of 'Artistic' manager in the filter layer of photoshop. Blur effects are common in the two tutorials.
I really don't like the fireball effect because it doesn't look like a fireball. The final image that was created looks like a metal that has been heated up for several hours.
The image that is covered by the sphere is blurred out so that glassy effect looks a little bit realistic. I already did some sphere effect in photoshop version 7.0 and the effects were quite devastating. Using CS2's inner glow, creating spheres has gone down to easy level.
