1. Create a new 600x450dpi, white background, RGB mode image.

2. Create a new layer 1, pull an ellipse with the Ellipse tool, press CTRL to adjust the path shape of the ellipse with the pen tool, in order to make the path more suitable for the actual orange shape, you can also use the pen to add some nodes on this path to make further adjustments. (Figure 01).

3. Convert the path to a selection, select the reset gradient, set the color at the right end to r:248 g:189 b:104, and set the left end color to r:245 g:114 b:7. and pull a gradient out of the selection as in (Figure 02).

6. Now the oranges still seem to lack three-dimensional sense, let's add a surface to it, maybe it will look more stereoscopic, assuming that light is illuminated from the bottom, (and the lighting color is white) then we should treat the bottom of the orange as a smooth surface and use the elliptical marquee tool to get the bottom box out of the orange. Then use the Lasso tool to modify its shape, (Figure 06) to feather the selection by 20 pixels and repeat the two feathering.

7. Use the ctrl+m to adjust the part of the selection of the light, and, because the light from the bottom of the hit, then the more the orange at the base of the reflection on the more intense, that is, the more the bottom of the color is white, how to make it white color? Also very simple, Use the Dodge tool in the Toolbox to apply a few on the bottom of the orange (Figure 07).
