create water drops using photoshop cs3

Get yourself a close up pic of a leaf or something like that..
I chose this one:

Step 1: Create a new document of Default Photoshop Size.

Create a new layer and paste the leaf picture into it.

Step 2: Now get your Elliptical Marque Tool hold shift and drag so that you get a circle like this.

Step 3: Now go to Filter -> Distort -> Spherize.
You’ll get a popup window and then apply the settings given below:

Step 4: Get your marque tool and rightclick on the “marking” and press “select inverse”.

Step 4: This will mark everything else but your current “circle” or “sphere”, now press delete.

Now you should have something like this:

Step 5: Lets set some blending options to the layer.

Rightclick the layer you’ve got the sphere in and press “Blending Options” or just double click the layer and set the following settings.

Step 6: Now duplicate the layer so that you have 2 sphere layers. Create yet another layer between the two.

 

Step 7: Now press the newest sphere layer and merge it down to the empty layer by pressing ctrl+E

Step 8: Then get your Elliptical Marque Tool once more, but this time just make a marque that covers about 40 percent of the sphere like this. Use the gradiant tool to create a nice gradiant that goes from white to transparent.

Step 9: Go to Filter->Blur->Gaussian Blur and set the Radius to 3.9 pixels.

Now your sphere should look something like this:

Step 10: Now use the Dodge tool to lighten up some parts of the original “Sphere-layer”.

Step 11: When you’ve done this you’ll have to create a new layer that will be beneath all the other layers except the background layer. Here you will paste your original leaf picture.

Here’s my image after pest original leaf picture in a new layer:

Step 12: Now merge both sphere-layers by pressing Ctrl+E.

Step 13: Go to Edit in the menu then -> Transform ->Warp. Press+hold and drag your mouse down to the right, you can change the shape of water drop.

Step 14: Copy the water drop layer and change the shape by applying step 13

Here’s my final result:

Thank You!
