harm Oct/17/08 20:00You can also use minimize on the top layer with 1 pixel. You get less stars and more random.
tanisha Aug/5/08 02:36This is realy nice and easy way to make to stars.
Suman May/27/08 17:00Sweet n simple i like that

NO!!! Mar/19/08 23:48If there are toomany stars, set the layer blend of the copied layer to linear light.
kek Jan/30/08 00:45Very nice and easy way to make stars. If u think there is to many stars, or if u dont think there are enough, u can simply go to Image -> Levels, and just play around a bit there.
RP Jan/27/08 07:17Discovered this trick on another site, but this is much simpler to understand! I suggest adding different coloured gradients to give the stars a more "space" like feel. I found a three colour vertical gradient going from green, to blue to black works brilliantly.
milind Dec/21/07 22:55Oh ! Its very simple
ulf Dec/18/07 22:23Awesome
Mel Oct/21/07 01:07how do you get bigger stars?
Tiberius Aug/14/07 14:30Afterwards, you can create a gradient map to give the stars differnet colours. Keep the stars very light shades of blue, yellow and red for the best results.

Aki May/27/07 04:34Not if I can just find a simple, attractive planet Earth tut and some other stuffs I'll easilly be able to make a cool gundam wallpaper. <3 Thnx a bunch! *gives a cookie*
Last Dance May/14/07 06:11This is a great tut, it gives a very nice effect, although when i did it i added more duplicated overlay layers. Great tut thnx ;)
LJ May/8/07 16:03how the hell do u just overlay???? me no comprenday
buckets May/5/07 00:54that son of a monkeys uncle was off the chais i needed some stars in lik 20sec and you like so helped me a bunch
skywalker Apr/29/07 19:45i have a question: i think this thing looks cool and most of the tutorials look cool but its hard to find any explanations why did u do so. now i am wondering why did u need to dublicate that pic and put it in overlay cos i can see what it does, but i dont understand why did u need to do it like that. or could someone give me a site where i can read about different abilities and understand what they are for?
Kat Apr/28/07 15:15Ok, please stop complaining, I'm making a solar system of my own! And stars are what I need... so... *rolls eyes* it will be awhile going dot by dot, thats what I thought! Now it will be SOOO easy!
