Photoshop Space Tutorial

Space Tutorial





















I found the tut while I surf for my last assignment for this sem. Then I tried to figure it out. I didn’t get 100% of it but at least, I shape my own skill then. I become understood the use of hue/saturation, merged layers and using of lens effect.

Step 1 :Open new layer with the black background, then go to Filter> Noise> Add noise
Play with the setting till you get this similar view. Don’t forget to tick the monochromatic box; we don’t want your stars glow colorful.





















Then adjust the brit setting here. Image>Adjustment>Brightness/ Contrast

Repeat the step 1 and 2 till you get the desire image.

Make a new layer with the black background. Then go to Filters>Render>Different Clouds( make sure your background and foreground were set black(back) and white(fore). Repeat the step by clicking ctrl+F till u gets this similar.

Turn the opacity to around 20-30%. It’ll make the stars look cloudy

Merge the layers become one.

Then use the dodge tool to make the glowing stars. Start with 2-3 pxs and repeat clicking on the same place till u get glowing white stars. Change to 5 pxs the brush point and try to did the same step for another stars.

Then go to layer>New Adjustment Layer> Hue/ Saturation(this is optional, try to make another space image without this step and see the different)

Make new layer and draw a circle, that’s the planet. Using brush tool slightly make the planet alive by make it glowing in the side. Hard to tell because my English is sadist broken.

Then merge it all become one. Repeat the dodge tool use to make glowing planet. Use smooth but large point (300etc).

final step go to Filter>Render>Lens Flare and make the planet side glow from back.





That’s all…
