Orange

1. Open up new document in Photoshop. Make sure the dimensions of the document are large enough to support your object. I find that rounded objects work the best, so I chose an orange.



2. Make sure to create a new layer, call it "Orange 1". Paste the object (orange) on this new layer.

3. With the "Orange 1" layer selected, goto Layer > Duplicate Layer. Name the duplicate layer "Orange 2". Click OK when the pop-up appears.

4. You should now have two identical layers of the oranges (objects).



5. Next step is to select the lower "Orange 1" layer. Make sure this orange is darker than the duplicate orange in the "Orange 2" layer. To do this, simply goto Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast.




6. When the Brightness/Contrast pop-up appears, adjust the Brightness/Contrast sliders to make the orange on the "Orange 1" layer to be darker. Click OK to accept the Brightness/Contrast changes.



7. Now make sure the "Orange 2" layer that is above is selected. Begin by erasing the shaped areas of the orange that you want to represent the inside part of the peel. As you erase, you can see that the darker orange from "Orange 1" layer shows underneath.



8. Make sure the "Orange 1" layer is now active. Using the eraser tool, begin erasing the areas of the dark orange so that it appears to be a twirling peel. If needed, alternate between "Orange 1" and "Orange 2" layers, erasing the sections required so that they create the swirling peel effect.

9. You're done! You should now have an object that looks like it's been peeled.

dreamy effect

In this photoshop tutorial we are going to show you how to create dreamy effect in your photographs. This effect can be archived in many different ways, and the one im going to show you now is very easy, but extremely useful.

Step 1: In first step we find a picture that we want to use.

Step 2: Now make a copy of the original layer.

Step 3: Select the layer you just made and go to Filters => Others => Maximum and give it about 3-4 pixels. Click OK.

Step 4: Now apply Gaussian blur, Filters => Blur => Gaussian Blur and set it to about 4-5 pixels. Click OK.

Step 5: In this step set the layer mode to "overlay" and the opacity to 70%.

Step 6: So, the image looks much better now but there are still few things to do.
Go to Filters => Render => Lighting Effects and use the same settings as the image below.

Step 7: Now make a new layer and place it at the top. Make it into an adjustment layer by selecting the black and white circle at the bottom of you layer pallette.

Now Select "Levels" and adjust according to the image below. Then click ok.
