Preparation method:
1. Create a new document with 1000*1000 and 300 resolution.
2. Press Ctrl+R to bring up the ruler, and pull out a reference line horizontally and vertically to the center; create a new layer, name it "Bottom", select the Ellipse tool, select 'Fixed size' in the style of the property bar, width, Change the height to 440px; hold down the Alt key and click in the center of the canvas to get a circular selection, and fill it with gray with a paint bucket.
3. Ctrl+D to cancel the selection, press Ctrl+T, change the vertical scale to 75% in the property bar to get an oval shape, press Enter to end the transformation; copy a layer, name it "Top", and move it up 100 pixels (hold down Shift+Up Arrow 10 times); then pull out the left, right and upper guide lines.
4. Use the rectangular marquee tool to make the following selections. On the "bottom" layer, use a paint bucket to fill the blank spaces on both sides with the same gray;
Give the "bottom" layer a layer style: Gradient Overlay. as follows:
5. Use the Rectangular Marquee Tool (select Add to Selection), make three selections on the "Bottom" layer, fill with white, Filter - Blur - Gaussian Blur, 10 pixels, cancel the selection; hold down Ctrl to load " "Bottom" selection, invert the selection, and press Delete to delete excess pixels.
Then create the highlight area on the other side, Gaussian Blur: 15 pixels, and delete the excess pixels. (For unskilled friends, it is best to create a new layer to do this step)
6. Set the layer style for the "top" layer: Gradient Overlay. Find the metal gradient in the 'Metal' item in the drop-down menu; create a new layer, name it "Inner Wall", load the "top" selection, and fill it with color # e1edfb, cancel the selection, execute Ctrl+T, and change the horizontal and vertical ratio to 92%.
7. Create a new layer, load the selection of "inner wall", move it down 80 pixels (hold down Shift + down arrow 8 times), fill it with white, cancel the selection, hold down the Alt key between the "inner wall" and layer 1 Click to create a clipping mask.
8. First load the selection of "Inner Wall", then hold down Alt+Ctrl to load the selection of layer 1 to get the selection of the inner wall; create a new layer, name it "Inner Wall 1", select the gradient tool, and pull the same one as before For the same metal gradient, change the layer mode to: Multiply, Opacity: 25%; create a new layer, name it "Inner Wall 2", then pull a gradient from black to transparent as the shadow of the inner wall, and cancel the selection. .
9. Create a new layer, name it "Top Highlight", first load the "top" selection, then hold down Alt+Ctrl to load the "inner wall" selection, fill it with white, feather: 1 pixel, press Delete to delete, cancel Selection; create a new layer, name it "Top Highlight 2", load the selection of "Inner Wall", fill it with white, move it down 1 pixel (press the arrow once), Delete to cancel the selection.
10. Now we need to place the surface of the compass into the watch case and treat it properly first. Open a surface image of a compass, use the Elliptical Marquee Tool to draw a circle, and then select the inner part through: Select-Transform Selection, invert the selection, and apply Filter-Blur-Gaussian Blur, 2 pixels, to the outer scale. . (For convenience of explanation, the outside is filled with pink)
11. Drag the processed surface into the document we are editing, name it "Surface", and place it on layer 1; Ctrl+T will rotate the surface 30 degrees, load the selection of the surface, invert the selection, and feather it by 50 pixels. Press Delete twice to delete.
12. Perform Ctrl+T on the surface again, change the vertical scale to 75%, lower the opacity of the surface to 50%, this will help us align the surface with the case, and then change the opacity back to 100%.
Pay attention to the alignment position
