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.

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.

how do you get bigger stars?

Afterwards, 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.
