A Metal sphere

Start with a new RGB image with black
background and lightblue foreground ground.
Draw a circle with the marquee tool and select the
gradient tool with the settings shown in the
picture here to the right.
Place the cursor in the top left of the circle
and drag it to the down right.
Add a new layer and apply the cutout filter
from EyeCandy with the settings:

Direction 139
Distance 12
Blur 14
Opacity 60

Use white as shadowcolor.

Go back to the first layer and apply the
RENDER/LENSFLARE filter with default settings.
