Create a Fisheye Lens in Photoshop

I am a huge fan of skateboarding and love everything about it such as the skateboard deck designs, cameras used to filmed the skaters and you get point. Well in this tutorial I decided to create a fisheye lens in photoshop for all my skaters or Filmer’s out there. Hope this tutorial helps! Enjoy

Step 1

Create new document 700px x 700px 72dpi.

Step 2

Fill background layer with a black/white gradient. 80 degree angle

Step 3

Create new layer and name it Main_circle. Select the rounded rectangle tool. Now create a circle, Color #000, black, ( Does not have to be exact )

Step 4

Right click on Main_circle layer and select blending options then look down and select stroke. Apply the settings below to layer.

Notice I have a gradient selected, While still in the stroke option panel select the fill type drop down menu and select Gradient

Now click on the gradient bar

Left color: #555353, Right color:#dbdbdb

Step 5

Create a new layer and name it Inside_circle. Now select the rounded rectangle tool and create another circle inside the main circle layer

Step 6

Right click on the Inside_circle layer and select blending options. Then select the gradient overlay

Now click on gradient. Color Left:#000( black ), Color Right:#181616( Dark grey );

Note: It might be kinda hard to see but you should have something like this below

Step 7

Create a new layer name it Inner_circle. Now select the rounded rectangle tool and create another circle inside the Inside_circle layer

Step 8

Right click on the Inner_circle layer and select Bevel and Emboss. Copy settings below

Now select the stroke option. Copy settings below. Color:#565454

Step 9

Create a new layer name it Small_circle. Now select the rounded rectangle tool and create another circle inside the Inner_circle

Step 10

Right click on the Small_circle layer and select blending options>>Stroke. Copy settings below, Color:#565454

Step 11

Ok so we’re almost finish. Go to the Main_circle Layer and right click>>Duplicate layer and drag layer to top. Name it lens_cover.

Now select gradient overlay. Copy setting below

Then click on Gradient. Left Color:#131313 ( Dark Purple/black ), Right Color:#bfbfbf ( light grey )

Finally select the Stroke options. Copy settings below

Then click on Gradient. Left Color:#555353 ( mid gray ), Right Color:#dbdbdb ( light grey )

Step 13

Duplicate the lens cover layer. Now go to Filter>>Render>>Lens flare

Copy current setting.( Try to get flare like the example shown in the image shown below. Does not have to be exact )

Step 14

Next we will add a reflection to our image. Create a new group and name it Lens.

After you have successfully created a new group drag all layers into the Lens folder.

Right click on the lens group and duplicate it. After you have a copy of the lens group right click on the second group copy and select Merge Group.

Step 15
