Best chops made by sarmistha_me

i just separated the shadow and background from the stopper . made another copy
of it . the rest , i just did it with clone tool, eraser tool and smudge tool
... now its very difficult to explain each and every stroke of these tools .
After complition of the model . i made a shadow of it . by first merging all
layers. then duplicating , turning the below layer black and semitransperent and
manipulating the perspective of it. done . :)

A lot of pixel pushing, but the shadow seems to be wrong in perspective.

I separated the backgorund and shadow

part from the stopper .then with

transform tool , straightened it. now i

deleted the middle part of the stopper

, and reduced the height of the top

part to give it look of the top of a

lamp shade . and positioned it above

the orb part.
in between i left a square place which

with the rectangular marquee tool i

selected and filled up with yellow

color in a new layer. gave it an inner

glow , reduced opacity a little bit.now

merged all three to make the shape of

the lamp. selected the coffee table

background from

http://www.studio25.ro/index.php?option=com_ponygallery&Itemid=27&func
=detail&id=7369 . placed the lamp in it. now merged

all layers, selected filters , lighting

effects , adjusted the 2o clock spot

light in such a way so it seems the

light is coming from the lamp. to

reduce the look of broken pixels in the

coffee table background , i used clone

tool to smooth the red carpet. and

atlast selected filters> artistic>

poster edges [thickness 2, intensity

:1, posterization 2]
done.

I separated the shadow and background from the object , straightened it ,
duplicated the object twice , and using transform , made them each of different
sizes . then i took backgroungd image from
http://www.everystockphoto.com/photo.php?imageId=14677 and placed the object
appropriately . Then merged the three objects. while still in selection , i
selected ::image>adjustment> match color , and selected the background
picture , clicked ok. Done.

You have a bit of a light halo around your stoppers. You'll need to eliminate that in the future, it kills the belieavability.
