How to Break an Egg in Photoshop – Photoshop Tutorial
Step 1
Remember to do everything on different layers. It is a way easier to merge things rather than tearing them apart. Create a new document with pretty big measurement. My choice is 1858 x 2500. This is a little trick that is common in digital painting. I mean- we will be scaling our output image down in a final step. You are loosing some texture and details by using this gimmick but generally whole image looks better.

Fill the whole area with some orange color that will be our background. Push [ Shift ] + [ F5 ] to open up a fill window. My color is #ea9b0b. This will give us a warm feel. Now pick the gradient tool, choose [radial gradient] from the option bar, pick some lighter color than our base, let’s say # f6b22d, set gradient opacity to about 30% and make one or two gradients in upper part of picture like on the image below.
Step 2
Now pick the color #f7e778 and create the selection like below with polygonal marquee tool. Then fill it with a gradient that has options same as before.
