Simple Stars tutorial


Description: Some people have asked how I made the stars background in some of the planets tutorials, so this tutorial, i'll show a simple way to create stars. Im not claiming this technique will create anything realistic, just something simple that looks like stars.

Start a new document whatever size you want

- Create a new layer and fill it with black.
- Then go to Filter->Noise->Add Noise.
Set: Amount: 20Distribution: Gaussian Monochromatic: Checked
Note: The more "Amount" you set, the more stars where will be

Duplicate this layer and set it to: Overlay.
Thats it.

You can also use minimize on the top layer with 1 pixel. You get less stars and more random.

If there are toomany stars, set the layer blend of the copied layer to linear light.

Very 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.

Discovered 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.
