Aliens from outer space or fakes created by people with
far too much time on their hands ?

Who knows, or indeed cares ?

Here we present you with an easy way to create fake
ones using photoshop.

First off, find an aerial view of a suitable field to create our
crop circle, we used one from istock photo for the purpose
of this tutorial, just search for “aerial field” if you want to
find the one we used :

Next we need to create the crop circle pattern, this
can be anything you like - get creative, you could
also use a company logo etc, for this tutorial we
used the custom shape tool and the elipse tool,
make this to start with :

Tutorial

Then build up a bit
more detail with
more circles etc

Tutorial

This shape will form the basis of our crop circle, save this
psd file with all your circles on separate layers, then hide
the background layer and on the menu go to Layer >
Merge Visible.
This puts the circle design all on one layer, now show the
background (field photo) layer again. Now choose Edit >
Transform > distort and move the handles in line with the
stripes on the field to give the idea of perspective :

Tutorial

Now duplicate this layer, choose Edit > Free
Transform, hold down shift and move the
handle to make smaller versions of the pattern
and position them like so :

Tutorial

Once again, hide the field photo and merge the 3 circles
layers together. Hold down ctrl + click on the circles layer
to make a selection, hide the circles layer and then create
a new layer :

Tutorial

Fill this layer with black, and then right click
on it in the layer window and choose
“blending options”, set the blending mode
to “overlay” and take the opacity down to
55% :

Tutorial

Then click on inner-
shadow and use
these settings

Tutorial

Finally, go to Filter >
Distort > Ripple and use
these settings

Tutorial

And that's it, your
final image should
look like this
