Answer 1

yes its you can distort like that

But the photo was taken with a fisheye lens

Answer 2

Edit -> Adjustments -> Auto Levels In the same place, Auto Contrast Create a new layer Use a big soft airbrush at 10% opacity In the sky where you gave your 'wanted structure' picture, there are some different colours Use whatever colours you want, brush those colours onto that new layer. Make SURE that the effect is subtle--you don't see many changes. Set the layer mode to 'Color'. Make another new layer, and with it selected, on your keyboard press Ctrl + Alt + Shift + E (hold them down, press in that order) Still with that layer selected, go to filter -> Gaussian Blur and slide the slider to about 0.8% blur (make sure to check the 'preview' box) Click OK Now that the layer has been blurred, desaturate it Set the layer mode to either hard glow, multiply, or screen. Those will give you a soft glowing effect, but not overly obnoxious.

Answer 3

Photoshop is always a great tool.
You can use filters to make the colors more vivid.
Just play around with it, it's hard to tell you what to do when I can't see the original photo.

Answer 4

they just played with the filters.
with Photoshop there is a tool in the liquify option (located near the filters) that can give the illusion of fish-eye, or reverse.
The filter used to make the colors like that I believe is posterise.

Answer 5

1st go to filters then come down to distort then spherize, adjust it to the distortion you wish. Next, create a duplicate layer. Then go to Image, adjustments, then posterize. After you posterize, then you adjust your top layer until you get the effect that you wish. Hope this helps.
