| 1. Here's a detailed look at how to achieve an Open Magazine Effect. Some basic shapes, a photo, some 'Pen Tool' manipulation and the Liquify Tool helped achieve this. So follow along to see how. |

2. In a new document, set the foreground color #C1C3C0 (gray) & select the 'Create New Fill' icon  located at the bottom of the Layers Palette & from the list choose 'Solid Color...'. This will create 'Color Fill 1' layer you see below. Next, set the foreground color #ffffff (White) then select the 'Rectangle Shape Tool'  , with 'Shape Layer'  active up on the Options Bar, then draw in a shape and give it a name by double clicking on the layer title/text. (I called mine 'book') Then duplicate that layer as I have captured below so that its the upper most layer in the stack order. (Once duplicated it will default to the name of 'book copy'.) Hit 'Ctrl + R' (Mac: Command + R') to toggle visibility of the Rulers' Bar. Then drag a vertical Guide from the left Ruler Bar to the center of the rectangle shape. Make sure there's enough room around your document for rotation and distortion |

| Here's how the 'Layers Palette' should look. |
 |
|
|
| 3. Next, with the upper most Shape Layer ('book copy') selected in the 'Layer Palette'. Then select the 'Add Anchor Point Tool' and add 10 addition anchor points as I have captured below. (Indicated by the solid anchor dots) |
 |
|
|
| 4. Next, select the 'Direct Selection Tool' from the 'Toolbar'. |
 |
|
|
| 5. Then with the 'Shift' key pressed select the individual Anchor Points that I have encircled in red. |
 |
|
|
| 6. Still, with the 'Direct Selection Tool' active click and drag any one of those four Anchor Points upward as I have captured below. (Click and drag one should drag all four!) |
 |
|
|
| 7. Next, select the 'Set labeled 'Book' from the 'Layers Palette'. |
 |
|
|
| 8. Now hit the 'Ctrl + T' key combo to activate the Free Transform Handlers of the Set. Then press and hold the Ctrl key again, then click and drag to reposition all four of the corner Anchor Points as I have captured below. |
 |
| Next set a stroke for each of the 'book' and 'book copy' layers as I have captured below. (Using the same setting for each) |
 |
|
|
| 9. This is how the 'Layers Palette' should look now with the blending effects for each. |
 |
|
|
| 10. This is how the image should look thus far. |
 |
|
|
| 11. Set the 'Gradient Blending Option' as I have captured below for the ' book copy' layer only. |
 |
|
|
| 12. Here's the Custom Gradient Editor panel shot. |
