Answer 1

• With the ellipse marquee tool, make a round selection where you want it on the background image.

• Select > Feather and increase the number in the field according to the size of the ball

• Create a new layer and fill the selection with white

• Reduce the opacity of the layer

• Repeat the process with a smaller selection to make the effect more concentrated in the middle.

• (Optional) On the lower effect layer Image > Adjustments > Photo Filter and add a blue filter

• Filter > Distort > Twirl on the lower layer is a nice touch.

• Experiment with the opacity of the effect layers to taste



There are all sorts of other effects you could perform on the lower layer if you don't like the twirl. Experiment and find one you like.

Layers and Mattes actually will make your life 1000 times easier. It is hard at first but once you get the hang of it you will realize you can't do with out it. To answer your question, yes you can work on the single layer, but once you get past the history you really cant go back to far. For example, Let say you spend about three hours on a picture. Yes you can do different saves but lets say you like everything you have done in the last 2 hours but you do not like one thing you did in the first hour. Well simple you just get rid or redo of that layer. You do not lose the last two hours of work. Another example, Lets say you changed the color of the shirt to green. The client now wants it red. Without creating another mask you can simply go to that layer and change the color. This is now a 2 minute operation instead of 20 mins. Now I also think using layers and mask are much easier when performing task on a specific area instead of using the lasso tools. Simply duplicate the picture and then create a black mask. Use the erasure tool to open the area that you wish to work on. Use the soft brush. You should instantly see how one now can quickly work on an area and have it seamless blend with the other part of the pictures with out having to deal with the edges. Well I could write a book but hopefully this will get you going.
