the table-lamp

High Resolution

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
