Description I apologise for the poor quality - jpg compression made the stars look not as nice in the end, but anyways...

Enjoy!

LethannAeda In reply to ??? [2006-01-27 21:08:25 +0000 UTC]

EXCELLENT tutorial!

one question.. when you do the hue/sautration... which layer do you have selected?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

jocarra In reply to LethannAeda [2006-01-28 03:51:10 +0000 UTC]

When I do the hue/saturation adjustment, I have the star layer selected. However, technically, you can have any layer selected - it's kinda neat to try messing with the settings of different layers to see how they affect each other.

ran into a snag, I have photostudio, not photoshop, the options are different and I don't have any ways to make a cloud effect. any suggestions?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

jocarra In reply to burnside202003 [2006-01-20 02:41:15 +0000 UTC]

Indeed, I do have a suggestion! You may not like it... but... here goes: paint the clouds in yourself. Create a new layer, set it to "Multiply/darken/whatever." Then get out a brush, and start dabbing in some dark blobby areas - that alone should suffice to create the varied star look.

Lemme know if you need any more alternatives

How long did it take me to do what? The tutorial? The starry/water picture? Or the spacey one?

jocarra In reply to fallenangls [2006-01-19 04:24:32 +0000 UTC]

Indeed it is: [link]
Can't remember how long it took. The original size is about four times this size: the stars took about... mmm... 1-3 hours? And the planet took maybe another hour.

Nah, don't need good memory. Just look at what I have, and look at what I don't have, and then fill the rest in X3 Of course, it sometimes can be difficult to "get back in the groove"
