Hi everybody
In this tutorial (First written by Symon in french), I'm going to show you how to create a beautyfull porthole like this one with Adobe Photoshop : ![]() And you can find the french version of the tutorial in this topic Let's start 1. Create a new 250x250 pixel document and use the vectorial ellipse tool to draw a black shape like on the image : ![]() 2. Double-click on the thumbnail of the layer to open its blending options window. Enter these settings : Drop shadow: ![]() Bevel and emboss : ![]() Gradient overlay : ![]() Using this Gradient : ![]() Stroke : ![]() Using this gradient : ![]() You should obtain this : ![]() 3. Use a Ctrl+Click on the thumbnail of the "Layer 1" to have its shape as your selection. Then go to Select > Modify > Contract, and enter 7 in the newly appeared window. Now create a new layer (Ctrl+Shift+N), and fill your selection with black. Then deselect (Ctrl+D). You should obtain this : ![]() 4. Then, double-click on the thumbnail of the layer to make its blending options window appear. Then, enter these settings : Inner shadow : ![]() Outter glow : ![]() Inner glow : ![]() Bevel and emboss : ![]() Gradient overlay : ![]() Using this gradient : ![]() Stroke : ![]() Using this gradient : ![]() You should obtain this : ![]() 5. Ctrl+Click on thumbnail of the "Layer 2", then contract the selection by 4 pixels (Select > Modify > Contract) and choose the gradient tool. Then set white as your foreground color, and select the "Foreground to transparent" gradient. Now, draw a gradient in a new layer (Ctrl+Shift+N) as shown bellow : ![]() 6. Create a new layer and fill the same selection with white : ![]() 7. Use the elliptical marquee tool to draw a selection like on the image, and press delete. Reduce the opacity of the layer to 40%. You should obtain this : ![]() 8. Then Ctrl+Click on "Layer 2"'s thumbnail, and contract the selection by 4 pixels. Create a new layer, and fill your selection with white. Now use the elliptical marquee tool to draw a selection like on the image and press delete : ![]() 9. Deselect (Ctrl+D), and reduce the opacity of the layer to 20%. You should obtain this : ![]() 10. Put an image between layers 2 and 3, and reduce its opacity to 50% to 70%. Here's the final result : ![]() Here are two other examples of what you can do by following this tutorial :

That's awesome. I'm not sure if I have a use for it, but I might try it later.
I wonder why I haven't seen these tutorials on Good-Tutorials yet. |
