You're watching VisiHow. In this video, I'm going to show you how you add a sphere effect to an image on Photoshop CS6 in Windows 7.

1. 1
   We already have a picture open, which can be done by creating a new document or opening an existing one

   .

   Once we do, we should make sure that we've selected the layer that we'd like to be working with on the right-hand side. We only have one layer today.

3. 3
   Hover over "Distort" and click "Spherize"

   .

   This will bring up a pop-up menu, which is a preview, so we don't need to move the box out of the way unless we want to.

   We can then zoom out by clicking the minus sign in the bottom left-hand corner, or zoom in by pressing the plus sign

   .

   The circle is quite obvious when we zoom out.

6. 6
   We can change the amount by clicking the slider and moving it

   .

   0% will be in a middle, then it turns to a sphere going inwards. We can see the contour of the image in the grid. If we want a fisheye lens effect, we would go to the plus side. This can produce a dramatic effect which is quite nice.

   .
