Space, the Final Frontier with Photoshop Space

This article is devoted entirely to space. In this first installment, the most basic of all: how to make a representation of a star-filled space.

1. Create a new document the size you want and you look to the background is black. Then go to Filter / Noise / Add Noise … and we use the following values:

Amount: 80 pixels

Distribution: Gaussian and

Mark Monochromatic

2. Now let’s Image / Adjust / Levels … and we use a value of 0.40 in the middle box, as pictured.

3. And voila, we have a starry space. If you want to play with the values of the Levels, you can, by moving the selector means further to the right, we get fewer stars and vice versa.

Here we will learn how to make a nebula we usually see in movies or images of the universe.

1. Started the tutorial where we left the last. If you have not seen it, check out the Tutorial on Space. We continue to create a new layer above the previous one.

2. Choose the default colors by pressing D we invest and then press X, that way we will have the black background color. Now chose the red face and let Filter / Render / Clouds.

Now, let’s filter / Render / Difference Clouds, and re-apply the same effect by pressing CTRL + F until you get some kind of image that we like for our nebula.

3. Finally, change the mode of this layer, from Normal to Screen and voila, we have created our nebula. If you think there are too nebulous, always can change the transparency of the last layer until the desired results are.
