"2. By now Lens Flare filter should be applied. Now go to Filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates. Make sure you have chosen Polar to Rectangular. Click OK."
"9. Choose Linear Burn for the upper layer and Pin Light for the lower layer. And set lower layers Opacity to 40%. That is it you should have your 3D ball now. You can tweak it some more by adding background and adding shadow...etc."
"In this tutorial, it will demonstrate you how to create a realistic 3D snooker ball. It is not difficult to make. Hope you will find it interesting. To create a 3D design, the shadow & reflection are always the most important elements to think of. Once you get familiar, your design will become awesome."
"Create a new layer. Press x to set the foreground color to white. With the same sized brush paint the edge as seen in the image below and also shade the top of the ball."
"3D Sphere or Ball 1, Make a circular selection on a new layer. Choose your colors. Set the foreground color and set the background color The background color should be the darker color of the foreground color. If my foreground color is red then the background color should be a very dark red color. 2, The settings for the gradient tool should be radial for the type of gradient and foreground to background for the gradient. Select the gradient tool and apply a graident starting from the upper right corner of the circular selection. Hold the SHIFT key while you drag the gradient to the lower left side of the circular selection. 3, Apply a drop shadow or other effects to complete the 3D appearance."
