I wouldn't call this simple, since it took about an hour for me to create a nebula of my own, but it was helpful nevertheless. The end result looked awesome, so thank you for posting!!

I think Adobe PS is a bit different from the prog you use.. a few tools weren't available to me.. like setting a layer for color dodge for example.. i have less settings to apply to layers... couldnt take snap shots either (No apply image i dont think) and I had trouble generating star feilds specially after all the erroneous substitutions I made along the way.. to say the least my nebula looked like cat puke when i was done.. mb its just me being dumb.. but I think at least some of it is Adobe PS being a little limited.. I thought i remember "Apply Image" in Corel and PhotoImpact 
still very helpful.. learned how to use a bunch of things I never used before thx

You probably misunderstood the description then XD There are Photoshop Elements and actual Photoshop. A fully functional Photoshop bears the extension of "CS", so it's put there so people don't confuse it with PS Elements. Of course I'm not using the old program here, very little people use it nowadays, however most of these functions are available in CS versions starting from CS2

well, i probably understood the words fine cuz I saw that, just didnt know the difference from experience (or lack of in my case).. so basically I am limited with Adobe Elements.. right? Kinda what i was saying.. still a nice tutorial I know more then i did going in
i used to use photoimpact, but it was a cracked version and i got this adobe with the wacom pad, cant afford to upgrade to fulla and not gonna use crack progs anymore since i have this.. and to be on the up and up too
Id ask how you might substitute "apply image" cuz im pretty sure there is no counterpart in Elements, but no worries, i'll figure it out in time

Well you could merge/flatten all the layers, copy the result into clipboard, undo merging/flattening and paste the copied image on a new layer. That's basically another way to do it.

im not sure whats up with "flatten image" in this prog.. pbly user error.. everytime i do it, i get a literally flat solid grey layer more or less..
what i did in mine when i was to apply layer.. i copied all layers i was using then merged them... and got my "snapshot".. so as i went along i had several snapshot layers.. problem came when adding star o of the last steps.. cuz they wouldnt show through so i changed opacity in each layer and erased different from each for sum depth then adjusted hue/sat brightness/contrast etc until i got sumn i liked.. and i added stars manually to each layer with dodge tool pin light lens flare and so on
