In this week’s tutorial, I’m going to show you how to make a James Bond gun barrel in Photoshop. You know, the opening scene of every 007 Bond film, where you look through the barrel and see James Bond. Here is how to make this effect, entirely in Adobe Photoshop.

The james bond gun barrel effect is a lot of fun and the tutorial goes through several version of it, increasing in difficulty as it goes. Take the effect as far as you need. There are lots of cool Photoshop things to learn here, even if you aren’t making this effect, you will learn a lot of useful things that can be applied to other pictures.
