Cool Photoshop Effects: Glass Egg Tutorial

This week, we will be creating some COOL PHOTOSHOP EFFECTS. This tutorial will teach you the basics on how to convert an object into bubble or glass giving it a transparent effect. It was created with Adobe Photoshop CS5(may be done with any other PS version). Here is a link to the Bubble Stock Image. Here is a link to the Egg Images. This tutorial was created by Bicsem.
Step 1
Open the original egg image.

Step 2
Now, with the clone stamp tool, you can slowly eliminate one of the eggs. With the clone tool selected, press alt + click on the part of the image you want to clone; in this case the background. Once you have done this, wherever you pass the clone over shall copy what you have clicked previously. In this case, I want to eliminate one of the eggs and add the same background color to make it look as if the egg was never there.


Step 3
One really important tool is the patch tool. Once you have finished eliminating one of the eggs with the clone tool, you will notice that there are some imperfections where the eggs used to be.

Step 4
Select the patch tool and use the settings below.

Step 5
With the patch tool selected, select part of the background and apply it over the parts you previously cloned. This will eliminate most of the imperfections and make it look uniform.

Step 6
After completing the steps above, your image will look something like this.

Step 7
Now open an image that contains a bubble like the one below.

Step 8
Select only the bubble. I use the Elliptical Marquee Tool to do this.

Step 9
Copy it and place it in the image we are working on.

Step 10
Now we will lower the saturation on the bubble image(layer).
Tip: A fast way to do this is to press Ctrl +Shift+ U.
Lower the opacity to 30% which will make it look transparent.

Step 11
Use the Warp Tool on the buble to shape it as if it were an egg.

Step 12
Now select an image of an egg yolk and place it on top of the bubble layer. After doing this, apply multiply.

Step 13
Now on a new layer, select a white soft brush tool and pass it over the top of the bubble to imitate the lighting that the other eggs have. Then apply overlay on the lighting layer and it will look like the image below.

Step 14
In the end, I have created another layer and used it as a gradient color to create the effect I want.
