Click on the same layer on the bottom part of the layers’ panel on Add a Mask option; use a standard brush of black color to clean out the unnecessary parts of the fractal, choosing also the next shown styles: Blending mode-Color Dodge

Now we’ll represent a sphere with the Ellipse Tool (U).

Using the same tool, try to insert a highlight on the made sphere.

For the best result we need to combine in a group all the layers composing the sphere and the highlight (press Ctrl button for marking the appropriate layers and then press the left mouse’s button to take the marked layers on Create a new group selection) The group we’ve got must be copied and made smaller with Free Transform option.

Next step includes rasterizing the group’s copy (mark out the group and press CTRL+E). Now we’ll make a lateral highlight, applying the Ellipse Tool (U).

    Very nice tutorial. I tried, but only got until the sphere. I have problems with my ellipse tool. It just won’t look like yours (with the squares to edit). How did you do this?
    Could someone please help me?

    Great tutorial.. I was getting ready to try it for myself following your steps and the Apophysis photo you used is not available in the list when I downloaded the program, though. :(

    Is there a way I can find and download that graphic used???
