Photorealistic iPhone 4 Photoshop Tutorial
Step 1 – Create a new image file

Step 2 – Create the iPhone 4 shape
Create a new layer (Ctrl+Shift+N or Layer > New > Layer) above the Background layer. Rename this layer to
Base. You can rename the layer by double-clicking on the layer name in the Layers palette (Window > Layers). In
the tools palette, select the Pen tool (P) and ensure that the mode is set to Paths shown by the button in the
image below.
Create a path like shown in the image below. You can load the image below into Photoshop and trace over it.
Getting the shape right is the key to realistic renderings. For other drawings, you can download the photo of the
object you are creating and trace over it. It is very difficult to create an accurate shape without tracing.
With the Pen tool still selected, right click inside the path then choose Fill. Fill the area with a dark gray color
(#141517) to be specific.

Step 3 – Create the metal band
Create another new layer (Ctrl+Shift+N or Layer > New > Layer). Name this layer to “Silver Part”. You can rename
a layer by double-clicking on the layer name in the Layers palette (Window > Layers). Create a selection like
shown in the image below. You can use any tool to create the selection. If you’d like to use the Pen tool to create
this select, start by drawing the path with the Pen tool then right click inside the path and choose Make Selection.
Fill the selected area (Shift+F5 or Edit > Fill) with a light gray such as #CFCECC.

easy. Start by creating a selection like shown in the image below. It is easiest to do this using the Pen tool (P)
then right clicking on the path and selecting Make Selection.

In the Layers palette (Window > Layers), set the Fill of this layer to 0%. The Fill setting is located underneath the
Opacity setting. Now go to Layer > Layer Style > Stroke and apply the settings shown below:
� Size: 2 px � Position Inside � Blend Mode: Normal � Opacity: 100% � Fill Type: Color � Color: White
Move the rectangle to the center of the home button then use the Warp tool (Edit > Transform > Warp) to distort it
so that it fits into the home button. Reduce the opacity of the current layer to 49%.
Step 38 – Add a shadow
Now we’ll create a shadow for the iPhone. Create a new layer then rename it to “shadow”. Position this layer
below the base layer.

Awesome tutorial!! I made this: http://img525.imageshack.us/f/...
Glad you like my tutorial! Very good outcome , congratulations!
hey read your posts
Very nice tutourial but somehow the most simple thing wont work here? when you make the green and yellow blob in the screen and add the noise everything is oke, but when i ass the motion blur i get noting comparted to the effect you have. Any idea what i do wrong?
Same problem. Tried to reset all the brush settings, copy the ones on the steps before and nothing works. If you you add 999 at motion blur it becomes "translucid", but if you add less, it doesn't reach the bottom of the screen. Furthermore, the vertical lines are much thinner. The rest, really awesome.
Any help, Adrian?
