For example (just a random pic off google) :

Can you see the slight shine, and the roundness effect. I want to do that, but I don't know what its called, or what topic it falls under.

Any help appreciated thanks. ^^

PS. Also I got Adobe PS CS v8 or something?

A simple P2L search for "orb tutorial" brought my attention to this particular TUTORIAL

Good luck!

Thanks. That tutorial was very hard. I tried my best to follow it. I managed to do the basics, but I couldn't do the whites on the black border. I didnt understand it. Nvm >< though. It also kept saying Layer 1 or 2, and it really confused me. The only thing is, how do I infuse text with the background? Say I wanted words to stick out of the orb, how do I make it look nice? Any ideas?

Thanks

Isnt there just a simple way to make something shine? You know some people have like a sigrectangular, with just a line of gloss at the top. I dont need all this fancy orb thing :)

Thanks anyways

Here's mine:

I couldnt to the shiny bits on the black border ><. However, I dont know why my circles seem so blurred around the edges. You can see that in the tutorial and the poster above me that their circles have a clear edge. Mine are blurry T__T
