CIOS 152 Final Part 1

I will be teaching you how to make a galaxy overview with stars, planets, and wispy nebulas by using filters and adjustments.
First make a new document in photoshop and make sure it is 600 width and 400 height in pixals, (you can go bigger once you get the steps down) then take you paint bucket tool and fill your background layer with black.

(should look like this)

After that you should go to your foreground color and select a color for your wispy nebulas, i have picked a dark blue. Any color will do but i advise not using white as our stars will be white. After you have picked a color you fill want to go to the filter tab and select render diffrence clouds you will want to do this at least twice to get more black than the color you picked, continually hit ctrl+F untill you get a equal amount of black and your color.

(should look like this)

Now we are going to create more space go under the image tab, select adjustments, then select levels or just hit ctrl+L. pull the black slider on the input levels until you get ride of you light clouds. I find pulling it to 20 to be the best. This will darken up your galaxy. then click okay. And now we have our nebulas.


(should look like this)


Now we are going to create the stars for our galaxy. First create a new layer. Then fill it with black with your paint bucket tool.

(should look like this)

Now go under the filter tab and select Noise, add Noise. For the amount type 30 and select Gaussian and Monochromatic. then select okay.

(should look like this)


This completes part one.
