I know this may be an amateur question but I don't have extensive knowledge of Photoshop and was stuck on a part of my planet creation, when I create the shadow after the atmosphere I end up with a dark, blended circle as I should but it has a very distinct edge around it and is not at all blended... :/

Besides the large canvas what dpi do you use? 300dpi?

dpi settings only affect how the image will be printed
for the pc it doesnt matter as quality wont change at all

I loved this tutorial, and I just finished making a planet following it! I ended up making a different approach for the shorelines, but this tutorial was a godsend

Hast du mal mit so Planet-Creator Plugins fΓΌr PS rumgespielt? Die gibt's ja auch - sogar umsonst teilweise. (Ich trau mich da nicht ran.

As I use differant programs than most (The Gimp for my 2d work - ie planet textures and bumpmapping) and (Blender for my 3d work - I making a sphere and dropping the texture onto it_) I can use the actual surface part of this, then I save as an image file (ie paintshop or photoshop image) then I wrap it on a sphere in Blender.. This allows me to rotate the planet for the 'best' view and allows me to have multiple planet creation at the same time... I then render and save as a .jpg, open the .jpg in the Gimp to do the finish work....
