fantastic tutorial! Β hopefully someday I'll get a chance to use it. Β I love the clarity of it, the images with the descriptions , as well as the stars dotting the entire background Β ^_^
I'm a sucker for space things...

OHHH I always thought people had some kind of amazing program to do this. I always just made planets by drawing them on GIMP LOL AND they looked so cartoonish. Thanks a lot ^^^

how do I get the lens flare? I know where to find it (filter>render>lens flare> 50 mm Prime), but it doesn't come out right because of the filters put on the planter. is there a way to rasterize the layer styles or something so they don't interfere?

would this work with gimp by chance, gimp i feel is being left in the shadows, and there is never a tut. for what i want for it

I just don't know how you "Change Fill to 0%" The only things I can do are to fade it to 1% or set the opacity to 1% and it doesn't work for either of those.

This is a good tut, but i have Photoshop Elements 6, and the Layer Styles part is pissing me off.

Fantastic tutorial, just what the doctor ordered!
... Well, maybe not, because it would be rather odd if a doctor ever ordered someone to get a planet tutorial for their health, but NONE THE LESS, good job

hey man thanks! very nice tutorial!!!
ummm ... the only thing is that I have to use more glow than the amount you say ... like for inner glow it says size: 20 ... I had to use like 140 ... but it is still a very good tutorial

how to make that huge sun behind them..the sparkle?
π: 0 β©: 0
I think the planets look extremely realistic, very simple yet very cool.
You get bonus points for making your tutorial so original: the background is very spacey ( 
Really great job, and thank you for contributing to dA and for being considerate and sharing tips to others. Very appreciated.

man i must be really dumb....i cant get the glow to look right...what do you mean hold the selection? and when i spherize it dont round it as much as yours. And do you mean the lighting layer goes above or below? and whats the fill set to after you adjust the blending options?
