How i get a magnifer effect via photoshop?

Hello all

Well i am trying to get an effect like this site has acheived.

I am using photoshop CS. i have looked for a tutorial that would explain how i would achieve this. If anyone knows of one or is able to provide me with a photoshop script that does it for me automatically then it would be much appreciated.

Cheers

im not sure but i would try to copy the layer and enlarge it then cut out the bit you want. unprofessional may be but des the job!

made a quick tutorial HERE
i realized after i made it that there is a slight gradient dragged across the image and a half circle gradient near the top to give it a curled effect.
hope this helps

Thats a cool tutorial Syber! Thanks.

I turned this ...



into this ...



in about five minutes!



Cooshty, I say.

You might wanna add some highlights in there to make the lens look a little more 3D

Otherwise, a good job

good point ... I'll take a look in the morning when I'm a bit more awake!

nice
as for the effect, id suggest starting with the large image and then sizing down the rest, so as to preserve sharpness
