6. Now, we are going to convert our circle in a globe. We will use Layers, so if you've never worked with layers before, feel free to take this Layers Explanation, in the Jacinda's Site. Then, click back to continue here. Choose Layers/New/Ok. We will start to apply shadows inside the circle to make it 3D. So, choose Image/Effects/Cutout:

7. These are the steps: Maintain the "Fill interior with color" unchecked. Shadow color: black, Opacity: 30, Blur: 20, Vertical and Horizontal: -10. Make a new Layer. In this Layer 3 we need another shadow. Image/Effects/Cutout with the same settings, only this change this time: Opacity: 30, Blur: 60, Vertical and Horizontal: 14. Make a new Layer. In this Layer 4 we will add some white shadow. Image/Effects/Cutout with these changes: Shadow color: white, Opacity: 100, Blur: 20, Vertical and Horizontal: 4.
8. Choose Selections/None. Make the Layer 5 for the Reflection. This is very easy and fun!! Choose a Selection/shape circle, locate in your image and make a little circle. Fill this with white using the bucket tool near de A in the Tool Palette:

9. Choose Selections/None to deselect. Now, Image/Blur/Gaussian Blur/Radius 6.00. The effect now must be of a 3D globe. Finally, choose Layers/Merge/visible. The past was a variation of the Glass Globe tutorial by Ceejay.
