No worries here mate! You can’t ruin your photo because it’s 100% Photoshop generated. And Photoshop does all the work with just your artistic guidance!
Since some things are better shown than told, I’ve created a rare (for me!) video tutorial that walks you through the process step-by-step. It’s 12 minutes of your life that you’ll never get back…but I think it’s well worth it!

P.S. – Some of you have asked how the rings were created since that wasn’t covered in the video.

Add some Bevel and Contour to it and you’re all set.
