Sphere, One of the MANY ways

[AmericanRedneck]

1) Make a new document with transparent background

2)Useing the Elliptical Marquee Tool from the tool bar (holding shift) make a circle on your document

3) hit D then hit the arrow swaping the foreground and background colors

4) select the radial gradient tool (With the foreground to background Gradient) and select a spot somwhat off center and drag in diagonal to the farthest away edge
