Sphere-Flowers

First attempt to produce the illusion of a sphere quality of the image not so good but it seems to work ok.
This is beautiful. You have to tell me how you did it. Did you have the ball with this already on it or did you do this with a crystal ball. Very creative. FAV

Well done, brilliant first attempt. Did you follow the Gavin Hoey tutorial?
At the end when he uses the eraser tool. I did it a bit different and made the bottom orb active and used the gradient tool to blur out the bottom of the orb. If you do it with the brush tool you have to use a very soft large brush to get the same effect.
Look forward to more orbs.

@onewing thanks very much for your comments Babs, I followed the tutorial to the letter, made a graduated background and struggled getting the sphere onto it using the move tool, managed it then didn't like the result, went for all black, did use the eraser tool, also I reduced the resolution of each image, big mistake, next time will be better, thanks again for the link;)

@pcoulson I had trouble moving the orb to the blank canvas too, so I moved it the long way.
Go to the picture with the orb 1 on and click on Select/All then Edit/Copy
Go to the blank canvas and Edit/Paste and there you have your orb on the blank canvas.
Then use the move tool to move it to the top of the canvas. If you hold the shift key while you move it, it will just move straight up without moving left or right.
then do the same with the inverted orb and move that underneath the first one on the other canvas. To move that one hold the shift key and move down so that it doesn't move left or right too.
Much easier than trying to drag I find. A bit of a long way round but better than making mistakes. Hope this was easy to follow and helpful.

@simta Спасибо за ваш любимый и комментариев Татьяна, это было двадцать пять отдельных изображений на одном листе, затем преобразуется с помощью программного обеспечения Photoshop, чтобы превратить его в шар, мне потребовалось время, чтобы сделать, но результат стоит усилий:
