Crystal Balls 'n Bubbles

• The “Crystal Balls 'n Bubbles” actions for Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Photoshop Elements turn your photos into gorgeous crystal spheres and bubbles. You can choose to apply the effect to the entire photo, or to a custom area of the photo.
• The “Sparkles and Flares” is an additional set of brushes, which you can use to add beautiful sparkles and lens flares to your glass sphere images.

The final Photoshop images are fully layered: the layers are grouped in layer groups for your convenience, allowing you to tweak the look of the orbs very easily. The actions make extensive use of non-destructive tools, such as smart filters, adjustment layers, offering additional flexibility in modifying the looks of these images.

The first action creates a sphere using the pixels of the entire photo:

The second action gives you more freedom: you define a custom circular selection, which is then transformed into an orb:

The third action lets you create multiple bubbles:

By default, the actions create 3 different crystal ball styles.

• The first two styles resemble a lensball (a compact glass ball).
• The third style looks like an orb made of thin glass, or a bubble.

You can choose the style you prefer mostly for the particular photo and tweak it further to your taste. The actions offer you an impressive range of tools, to alter the looks of these orbs.

When you look through a real lensball, the background appears flipped, both horizontally and vertically. If you want a more realistic look, you can apply this effect with a click of a button.

You can create copies of the crystal ball, with additional, customizable degree of distortion.
