In this tutorial we will learn how to create some cool effects, really easy and simple to do it. We will create an Magic Crystal Ball on the hands.
Let’s create a new file (File>New) of 1280×1024 px and 72 dpi, applying there the Paint Bucket Tool (G) to give it black color.

Next we’ll download a set of brushes for Adobe Photoshop, named: Brushset_VI_by_mystcART and Vector_Flower_Brushes_by_Yasny_chan. Create a new layer and use here the brushes that we have to represent an ornament. The color chosen in this case is #89C5DF


Click several times more to repeat the same ornament:

Select then the Brush Tool (B) (Opacity 50%) to dark out the picture’s borders, applying black color.


Find in Internet a picture having represented on it the human hands. For this tutorial, I used this picture from SXC. I would like to thank the author of this picture.

Cut them out and insert the element on our picture:

Make a mouse click on the bottom part of the layers’ panel on the selection Create new fill or adjustment layer>Hue/Saturation


Press Alt button and make a mouse click between the effect’s layers Hue/Saturation and the hands’ layer (on the layers’ panel).


Create a new layer and use there a standard brush with the Opacity of 20% to represent a kind of luminescence. Apply the brush above the fingers and between them. The brush’s color is #37698C


The layer’s parameters: Blending mode-Color Dodge

Press Alt button while clicking between the luminescence layers and the previous layer on the layers’ panel:


Next we’ll choose the Ellipse Tool (U) to represent a circle which must be placed under the hands’ layer:

Set the next shown parameters by making a mouse click on the layer we work with, on the layers’ panel: Fill 0%, Blending Options>Outer Glow

Blending Options>Inner Glow

Blending Options>Gradient Overlay

Gradient’s parameters:

Blending Options>Pattern Overlay (select the pattern out of the set, entitled Texture Fill 2)
