Now I've changed the background using Pin light black to white reflected gradient on a new separate layer.

It could be better seen on this picture with some element I've created in the end of the tutorial.

I've also changed the size of my pattern here and used a twirl filter once again.

And remember to drag the twirled object layer to foreground, simply by changing the order of the layers.

Create a copy of our twirl.

Transform it a little bit.

Use a mask to create an effect that the curve goes to foreground. (Lower curve)

Drop a shadow in the UPPER CURVE
  
using layers styles.

Make the same effect like it goes Round on the upper curve.

Once again: our modified background. It was created with Pin light black>to>white reflected gradient.

Some small details can make the design look a lot better.

So make a copy of any curve and transform and place it in layer box like this.

See the little tail coming from the back of the object? (And of the top left side too) .

And that is it for shall we say commercial design with Photo usage.

Hope you find out how the image can be transformed by adding design elements and changing the color gammas. Hope to see you next time on eyesontutorials.com.
