I just watched a foreign tutorial and I think the effect is good and the production method is also very simple! Mainly using the transformation function of PHOTOSHOP CS2. After learning the method, you can also transform many different wonderful special effect patterns.
Let’s take a look at the final effect:
Create a new file and fill the background with brown. (Note: The original text does not mention the size and shape of the file, but everyone should create a square file when creating a new file!)
Double click the layer to open layer style window. Apply layer style with the settings shown.
Double-click the layer thumbnail to open the Layer Style panel and set it as follows
Duplicate the layer. Menu--Layer--Layer Style--Create New Layer. Then merge the three newly generated layers (one copy layer and two effect layers!)
Then press CTRL+T to shrink the copy layer proportionally!
Like this:
Continue to duplicate multiple layers and scale them down to look like the following
Merge all layers.
Duplicate another layer and change the blending mode to "Linear Dodge".
It now looks like this:
Duplicate the layer. Press CTRL+T to display the Free Transform box. Right-click in the box---Rotate 180 degrees.
Note: Just look at the effect of the picture in this step, don't look at its layer palette.
Merge all layers again. Duplicate the layer and hide the original layer.
CTRL+T, right-click in the adjustment box--Transform, and then select "Extrusion" in the property bar. Adjust the handles so that the image looks like below.
Note: When doing this step, the file should be maximized, otherwise the adjustment handle will not be visible.
Duplicate the layer again.
Press CTRL+T to rotate the layer by an angle. and show hidden layers.
Continue to copy--rotate.
Duplicate the background layer and move it to the top.
Press CTRL+T, right-click in the adjustment box--Transform. Select "Fisheye" in the property bar and make it look like this.
Change the layer mode to "Darken".
Merge all layers. Duplicate the layer. Select "Menu--Filter--Blur--Gaussian Blur", the parameters are as shown below.
Change the layer blending mode to "Hard Light".
Click on the adjustment layer's mask thumbnail and apply a radial gradient from black to white to it.
As shown below
This is the final result!
The method is very simple. If we want, we can definitely add some changes when we do it!
Here are a few I made.
