UPDATE: Skip the section at 5:30 to 6:45 - the whole cut and paste and putting red underneath thing and just press CTRL+J to automatically copy the selected area to a new layer. Thanks to Rasta for letting me know in the comments!

Made a little tutorial on how to flip the image inside a lens ball
The music is a snippet of one of my songs called "Summer Groovin" which is out on my album "Fearlessly Into Caves of Depths Unknown" available wherever you stream or download music!!
2021 UPDATE: I've since changed my artist name from "Subject C" to "Collin In Kind" and my business to Tangible Planet Visual Media

Awesome demonstration, thank you for helping us out with this.
Love this at 3:00 - that's new for me.
Making the world a better place for all crystal ball photographers....

hey just seeing this thanks! hope you're selling lots of crystal balls!
Thank you for sharing this tutorial... Will be put to good uses
What if you don't have photoshop and only have Microsoft Windows editing?
This is the best way to flip an image from a ball I have seen so far. Very well done! Thank you very much!!
Danielle Barabé-Bussières Cool! Thanks for the feedback, it's good to know it's helpful!
thank you so much for the tutorial! It helps me a lot.
lots of extra, not necessary stuff going on here. Use the Elliptical Marquis tool while holding the shift key and select the entire sphere as close to the edge as possible with a feathered edge of 5-10 pixel or so. Ctrl+T and free transform to flip the ball image. Done!
Barbara Peterson that is essentially what I did however I prefer to save my selections as shapes on different layers so I can redo or change things if I need to. I agree that the middle part wasnt needed once I learned you can hit Ctrl+J and copy the selection to a new layer, and I updated the video description accordingly. Like I said in the video, this is just my method, and I wanted to share it in case it helped anyone, you're free to do it however you see fit. All that really matters is the end result.
Agreed! I like to keep things simple. I do not make adjustments on the original image, so I just make a copy and do the adjustments there. unless I am moving the ball to a different background I don't see a purpose to putting the ball onto a separate layer.Thanks for the tutorial.
Barbara, thank you very much. It was a good video, but you made everything perfectly clear. Much appreciated.
Nice and simple -- thanks!
Eric Seale happy to help!
thank you for posting this, huge help its my go to method
Turn on the rulers. With the cursor on the ruler, click - hold - and draw guides to the bottom, top, left and right sides of the ball. Magnify as much as you need to in order to be as precise as possible. Then draw a circulair selection from top-left to bottom-right corner with 2-5 pixel feather, depending on your resolution. More if so required. The selection should encircle the whole ball. Copy and paste the selection, then flip the newly pasted ball horizontally or rotate, whichever you prefer. Correct the position of the guides if needed and redraw the selection. The guides will help to position the pasted ball if the paste is off position.
John van den Dries cool, thanks for the tip, I don't use rulers very often, I should start.
Addendum: Hold down the Ctrl-key (or was it the Alt-key) to alter the position of any guide.
Can we do flipping thé Ball image in Lightroom mobile ? Thanks
its not letting me paint anything red . shows a circle with a line through it ?
LifeOfMikey hey, sorry for the late reply. Not sure why that would be. Try making sure you are in RGB color mode by going to image>mode>RGB
Also make sure that you don't have one pixel selected somewhere that you can't see by going to select>deselect and then select the circle again.
That's all I can think of without seeing it myself, hope you can figure it out, good luck!
instead of cutting and pasting the selected circle, couldn't you just '"CTRL + J"' to just make an automatic copy on a new layer?
Rasta good idea! That should work too!
You guys and your shortcuts! Awesome tutorial! Before this, my best option was Snapchat’s sticker feature, or one of several IPad drawing apps. I appreciate your help with this...
@@puksb No problem! I'm really glad it helps! I finally found something that hadn't been covered on RUclips yet lol. I learned everything I know on RUclips so I'm going to make tutorials whenever I figure something out that hasn't been covered yet. Hopefully I can contribute a little bit back to the zeitgeist of Adobe software knowledge.
hey normally you hold the ball in your hand and a finger is around the ball and of course not round anymore. can u do a video that shows how to rotate the ball and cut out or fill in the piece where the finger was. im really struggling with this
Hey, sorry, I didn't see this comment until now, I'll mess around and see what I can come up with. That's a little more involved but doable. I should do an updated tutorial on this. I can simply the whole thing a little bit and add that in as well.
Awesome man! Thanks :)
No problem glad I could help!!
got to select and its all paled out so unable to move to the next step? Tried all sorts nothing worked. Frozen in the border around the ball.
So wandering if the Course is compatible with a Apple IPad?
Sorry, I'm not sure what you're referring to. There is no e-book or course related to this video.
thanks for the video ! subscribed
Thanks! Legend
When I click back to the orginal layer and press cmd v and is pasted it pasted a white box around and its acting like the whole immage
At 6:02 how did you fill in the red to layer 3?
I'm sorry layer 2
Hey sorry for the late reply, I haven't been notifications. Look for the paint bucket tool in the toolbar. If you don't see it, click and hold the gradient tool icon
YOu dont explain how you fill the layer with red hon? You just say make sure you fill it with red. I have followed right up til then and then there is a click in the voiceover but no show of what you did to make the layer colour up.
Sorry about that, look for the paint bucket tool, select that and and click where you want to fill with color.
@@CollinInKind thankyou very much x
The E-Book subscription isn't compatible with a Apple IPad. :(.
Thanks for the handy tips - I'm just wondering what you click to fill the third layer with red?
John Collighan I used the paint bucket tool, under the eraser tool on the tool panel but I think you can actually skip that part and just press CTRL + J to automatically copy your selection to a new layer, I'm not exatcly sure how that will work with the feathering, the red trick may still help you out but you should give it a try!
Hi, was wondering if this is the larger 80mm or smaller 60mm lensball?
DireHavok not sure, this one was pretty small, probably about 2 inches in diameter, I ended up buying a larger one as well
If you press alt/shift/(clover sign thingie) and mm(metric), that opens the Lensball gradient measuring overlay. Replace in for mm for inches, or ft for feet. I’m sure I don’t need to say “conversely, clicking options/idioms/graphics-ex/C/all/Me will get you there faster. But a Mac’s always faster.
Size of the crystal ball
hey late response but I think this was 5 inches
What happens if you place two lensball back to back? Does it flip the image or distorts it more?
jatontherun I'm not sure, I have 2, this one and a smaller one, I'll have to try that
It flips the image. Make certain that the line of sight of your camera is exactly on the imaginary line going through the center points of the glass spheres. In this case your camera would be sitting almost on the ground. Also use a longer lens to compensate somewhat for the difference in size of the spheres in your view finder as a result of the difference in distance to the sensor plane. Cheers.
Much easier ways to do it.
1. select the ball roughly same size not quite but almost all of it
2. Cut out the selection to new layer
3. Just flip it
thats it
What software is and
Adobe photoshop
Never heard of the pen tool?
I use the pen tool in premier for the most part, not that I wouldn't in Photoshop, I just didn't think about it. I don't do a ton of work in Photoshop, so like I said in the video, if you have a better way, feel free to augment the process, sorry if there are some unnecessary steps
Wow take to much to flip it.. but at least you can.
why not make a selection go the ball then just flip it.
You can do that, but I think it takes a little bit of work to make it blend naturally, but that'll work. There another video on RUclips showing how to do it in 39 seconds or something. I may have added some unnecessary steps, as I don't do a ton of work in Photoshop, I mostly work in Premier and Lightroom. I just threw this together to show everyone what I did, from the comments I've received, it seems like the process can be streamlined a little bit.
Is this**
joey skulls it's Photoshop CC, but you can do this in any version.
Incredibly confusing between your windows commands and apple commands / got lost and gave up.. seems like way too many steps as well
Troy Kelley sorry about that, the only difference in hotkeys is substituting command for control if you're on a Mac. I also showed how to do it through the menu. I tried to keep the steps as minimal as possible but to make it look good I feel like there are a few steps you have to go through. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance. I think there are a few other tutorial videos maybe one of those will help you more.
Subject C it’s all good, I just went simple and free transformed and flipped and it came out fine
You move way to fast through the steps. Also, When you start hitting delete, I can't tell what option you are on because when I hit delete after the feather option it starts deleting the color on the paint strokes and makes it even more transparent and does not soften the edges. You need to slow down and be more clear about what options you have selected. The whole purpose in watching these types of videos is because one is unfamiliar with Photoshop. You fly through it like someone who has been working with photoshop for years. If I had that much knowledge I wouldn't need the tutorial. At 505 you talk about "bringing it out just a hare" but you don't explain what you click on, (which I figured out is the lasso) or how you go from that to getting the pink box around it to be able to adjust it. Once you're done, you're like, there you go, but I can't get there because I can't figure out how you did it. I watched your video and played with it for hours to no avail. A 9 min tutorial shouldn't take me hours of rewinding and playing to never actually get the end result.
Karen Rose sorry about that, I tried to articulate every step. I've never made a tutorial before I'll go slower in the future.
Karen Rose when I talked about bringing it out a little bit, I was hitting Ctrl+T or you can go to Select>Free Transform
I suppose I didn't say that because I had already mentioned it earlier if I recall correctly. I'm happy to help with anything else you're stuck on just leave a reply
Karen Rose oh and as far as the feathering. You're only going to see it on the color overlay, but when you select around that overlay and then switch to the image layer and cut it out, it will soften the edges too
I have no idea what you are doing....... all of that edit stuff is impossibly complicated for us who didn't grow up in this digital tech world of today. 😞
