(hrm, the separate spherization gives a very hard edge at the outer glow cutoff; there has to be a way to spherize them together, but I'm having a hate-the-world night and I have no more spoons for this now.)

I'm having issues with this somewhere.
When I finish with the part with the edges, it looks like this: [link]
I have two layers, one that's the glowing circle and one that's all the clouds and edges stuff, which is what it READS you're doing, but it doesn't look anything like this.

so the bubble layer IS on 'screen'? and the clouds are on the layer above, and set to 'overlay'?
it looks like you didnt set it to overlay, or the layer order is wrong
also, youll need to make the clouds layer bigger than the bubble, so you dont see any cut off edges ^^
hope that works out!

OK, managed to get it mostly working (when in doubt, close program and restart), but CS5 refuses to let me do the sphereizing with two layers selected; that might be a CS5-ism, though. (when I say 'refuses', I mean every filter is greyed out.) I had to sphereize each layer separately, then merge them.
I think I figured out where I messed up; I've got some tests to do to see if I have it right. (the first one I tried was problematic until I figured I had not done the 'set to screen' for the blend.)

I don't have that program, but this is really cool
