-now this step is optional, but does make the process a little easier and less confusing
-label the image we want to edit whatever you would like to, for this video I labelled it as "flower"
-go to filter/distort/spherize and set the value to 100% with mode in normal
-if you wish, you can multiply this effect by going again and selecting a value you wish fits your image
-double click on the "flower" layer, select inner glow, select the color as black, blend mode to normal, opacity to 100%, size to 50%, choke to 0%, ranger to 50%, jitter to 0%
-click on the "flower" layer while holding down control or command
-create a new layer
-name the new layer as "lens"
-go to select/modify/expand and set the value to eight pixels
-go to select/modify/boarder and set the value to 20 pixels
-select the paint bucket and pick the color white
-fill the "lens" layer white
-deselect the area
-double click on the "lens" layer, then select emboss
-select inner bevel, technique to hard chisel, depth to one, size to zero, highlight mode to normal, highlight mode opacity to 100%, shadow mode to normal, shadow mode opacity to 100%
-select contour and set to 100%
-select gradient with blend mode to normal, opacity to 100%, linear style, angle to -70 degrees, scale size to 80%
-click okay and that will close the window and apply changes
-set layer fill to 0% and opacity to 15%
-once you are satisfied with your image, you are ready save and you're done
