Howard, I really like your tutorials are very helpful !
Thank you so much Howard for your efforts
Your techniques in this video have opened many doors into other areas besides celestial creations. Very good indeed!
For those running CS6 and having trouble spherizing the texture, I figured it out by playing around a bit. First Control or Command click the Ellipse thumbnail as he suggests. THEN click on your planet texture layer before selecting filters/spherize.
Yeah, I was having trouble trying to follow along with the same settings until I got here and realized through the threads that he's using CS5.
Good stuff so far!
Man, i love space pictures!
Nice Tutorial ! I tried it and it worked except for the glow of the planet but im sure it was my mistake and not yours. Great tutorial
Am I the only one that quickly got SUPER intrigued in the ad video? I just couldn't skip it haha
Very good tutorial! Love it!
Nice job.
Fantasticooo :)
nice, in depth explanation would have been great.
When i select the ellipse tool and draw on to my layer it doesnt create a mask like what yours looks like making this whole tutorial unworkable. I just have half a white circle on my layer how do i get the mask like you have?
can someone help please
I don't understand how did he turn it in a selection in 3:50
what key did he pressed before...
The colors in the background, the number "O" does not get it like other letters and numbers. Does anyone know why?
how does that other layer of the planet appear? mine isn't doing it :/
Thumps up if you think PS is the best designing program.
One of my more popular Photoshop tutorials is the "Space Scene" composition. Learn how to create stars, planets, and glows, oh my!

Gotta say Howard this is probably one of my favorites
So simple but tricky!
Nice tut ;)
There is an easyer way to make stars.
if you would like to try it it goes like this:
filter >> noise >> add noise
and then set the amount to - 400 \ gaussian \ monochromatic
the add a gaussian blur at radius of 1.0
then open the Levels Window by pressing Ctrl + L
set the black to location of 205 and the white to location of 211
i learned that for BlueLightningTV and i think it is tn easyer way to make stars.
HOLY CRAP, THIS IS AN **AWESOME TUTORIAL**!!!
VERY, VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD, STEP-BY-STEP [ K-I-S-S method ] instruction and guidance!!!
Offering viewers opportunity to learn MORE, by offering links to other sites!!!
VERY, VERY **VERRRRY COOL**!!!!!
THANK YOU, Howard Pinskey!!!!!!
@TutorialSolution987 Did you make sure to turn the planet into a selection? Are you adding that spot on a new layer? Is that new layer under the texture layer?
@shreder94 Check to make sure your brush is 0% hardness. If that still doesn't work, try it without modifying the Flow Jitter. You'll probably get similar results.
@sportyio3 It might be, but I'm a big fan of using custom brushes.
@MadLittleMods If you use a Mac, ScreenFlow is a no brainer.
@yaelypower I was working with a 1280x720 72dpi document.
@TutorialSolution987 Image > Adjustments > Levels.
Okay, when I change the layer to "Overlay" the whole planet goes black.....
same i dont know why
are you kidding me?
did you know that by holding the shift key you can make straight lines?
@imlike15 Either one is fine. :)
@trident3b I use ScreenFlow.
Too fast, you lost me on the elipse because I can't figure out if you created a new layer first, or if you created a mask or what.
set at .5 in the settings menu (on TH-cam) (Easy to keep up)
I still did not understand how did you distort the picture into the circle.
Excellent tutorials just like all your tutorials!
However, if I may give some constructive criticism: Sometimes you move WAY too fast for me to keep up. Have to rewind and slow down the video to get it all. I understand there's quite a lot to go through at times, but some of the things you do aren't common stuff to everyone :)
Also, it would really help if you inform us of the resolution of the PS work space. I had to read through the comments to find out it was 1280x720. This is quite important as most of the adjustments done are in pixels. Maybe also give some more details as to where you obtained the source pictures you use for textures etc. Simply give us a quick video of you searching in Google images etc.
Other than that, top notch! :D
What version of PS is he using? My brushes in CS3 will not what his brushes will do.
@shreder94 Try starting the brush from scratch. Select the Brush Tool, choose a standard soft brush, then adjust the settings in the Brush Panel. You might be stuck on a custom brush already.
@DragonBreath7575 Yep. I'm not the best fine artist, but I play to do something around digital painting eventually.
@dxrulezzz I get this a lot. I've been trying to come up with an easy way to demonstrate how Blend Modes work. Depending on the images that are used, two users can get completely different results.
I like it, very good, just getting into this sort of stuff, being selfish of course, it would be a perfect presentation if it were justa tiny bit slower for us, in, we need help land! or planet in this case! ahahha
@fedec16 Is it greyed out? Make sure you're working with an 8-bit image. Image > Mode > B Bits/Channel.
@MrGeekGamer Increasing the Scattering and Spacing should spread the stars out more.
OMG It is sooooo amazing. Great work dude and thanks for this. I just don't have time to make this but i will sometime. One more time thanks! :)
@Hartjesz All the links are include on the official post, on my website.
Amazing tut, but could ou put a link to where you did find the textures? : ) would be helpfull! =)
quite frankly have a short hand to follow you mate
@MadLittleMods ScreenFlow. It allows me to add those zooms afterwards in post.
Great tutorial and all without taking a single breath.
Great tutorial buddy it was very helpful.!!
Thanks.!!
Total noob here. Im having 2 big issues.
1 - Once I create the star brush, the brush refuses to go back to normal when I try to draw the light in the background, for example.
2 - After I hold ALT and select the thumbnail of the first planet, the program wont let me do anything outside of the selected area, like its not leting me deselect it. I have to keep creating and moving other layers to be able to do stuff.
Anyone have tips on solving this?
Running Photoshop CS6 on win 7 64 bit
WHAT CAN YOU NOT DO WITH PHOTOSHOP MAN??
YOU'RE SO GOOD!!
thanks mam
man*
@mikeymoo27 Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Howard, It is really very helpful and well explained. Thanks for the tutorial
@cracker0 Glad I was able to help! :)
@trancesensation23 same as this tutorial, you won't need the black background and work above your photograph layer. You then either want to lower the opacity of these layers, in some cases, or change their blending mode. This will help everything sink in to your original photograph.
Once your 'scene' has been created above your photograph you want to erase the parts that cover the foreground and you're done
I think that If you have Knoll Light Factory, or some other lens flare studio on photoshop, you can save time from 5:51 to 6:34 ¿Am I right? But anyway: ¡AWESOME TUTORIAL!
ahh just piss me off too fast
slow down, take breaks, do one thing at a time - pause video, or alternatively you can watch the video at a slower speed =]
Great tutorial! Worked well with my twitch overlay graphics project my buddy gave me. I used a red planet, looks real nice and dark =]
When you have a document created, click "U" on the keyboard, the cursor will turn into a cross. Then find the icon with an indented background towards the bottom of your left tool bar. If the icon looks like an oval shape, you are good to go. If the icon is a square or something else instead, click and hold for additional menu items to show, then choose "Ellipse Tool".
To draw a perfect circle, hold down "shift" while you drag the cross cursor across the canvas.
I've been subscribed to you for such a long time and i've gotten really good at Photoshop thanks to you to the point that i hate it when you upload icon tutorials because they're so easy. This one was easy for me too, but definitely taught me some shortcuts i didn't know about before. Do you think you can do some very advanced, long tutorials on photo manipulations? :) keep it up
guys remember to enter every and all amounts and selects that you see on the video, even the ones he is not mentioning. Also when you drag that picture into photoshop don't drag it straight from your desktop into your earth one, place it into photoshop frist then drag it into the earth project. Other wise the effects and mask won't work the same way.
i have this problem : When i go to layer style options to add inner,outer glow and inner shadow all the settings i change remain but color does not. i change the color to blue in inner glow and when i go to outer glow to change that too the inner glow color changes back to grey.. any solutions? thanks again.. pls reply am so confused!
@wartornpanda Oops. :)
#IceflowStudios So in photoshop cs6 we got the video and timeline option ! And i was wondering could you do this picture but where the light falls on the planet? i would love som special effects on photoshop but i don't even know where to begin ! Thx in advance loyal viewer for like forever !!!!!!
When you have marked the texture hold CTRL and click inside the little preview box on the layer of the sphere :D then it should allow you to spherize it, they remove the extra thumbnail in cs6 and just made it 1 which is the small preview box you see on the layer on the righthandside.
I had to mess around with some things to see if there was an easy way to duplicate it - When you have the selection where you want it, click on the "create a new fill/adjustment layer" under the layers tab, then click "solid color".
the circle shape that he made?? if you look over to the tool selection on your left you see the pen tool then Text tool after that, by default there should be a square, if you click and hold down the mouse you will see the ellipse tool.
With your planet (earth) texture layer active.... you ctrl-click on the shape planet to create a selection then you can spherize it and add your layer mask. Remember, this is all written out too on his website in the description of this video.
@fandigger You're welcome! but you could always use your own computer res because if you have something different to 1280 x 720 it wouldn't look as good. [:
And if you have 1366 x 768 pixel it looks really nice, but yet again it will look nice on any res. :D
THANKS FOR HELPING OUT!!! but when I do the overlay thing, it dosent show the edge of the planet:`( only the outer glow. what have i done wrong?
I'm ever so sorry to burst your bubble but I think you mean "Neither does your mum, but you don't hear me complaining". Not "Either" or "my" and you should definitely know that you don't put a capital letter after a comma.
IceFlowStudios, a Lens Flare would look better than just a white colored brush spot(in my opinion). It has its own light streaks coming out of it. It really looks like a star about to round the edge of a planet.
when i try to tamper with the levels after adding the clouds filter .. the levels show up in a layer of their own for some reason which is not giving the affect ur showing at all
any ideas what i am doing wrong?
I suck. I try to render the picture as best as possible but when I do, the image comes out darker and ugly looking than the original and loses a lot of the stars in the back as well. any tips for my n00b ass ?
3 aliens dislike the earth :D
weird problem...the spherize wont actually spherize from the center of the selected shape. Instead it spherizes from the center of the picture and shape...hopefully that makes sense. can someone help?
amazing what you can do with photoshop, this is way beyond what i would even bother trying though. The Line added above the planet seems kind of out of place though, just doesn't sit well with me.
Why, when I try to create the earth, does it stay in the same layer and not create a shapes bit at the side?
Ima space geek too
Great video man! Quick question. I'm working with a much bigger canvas for a bigger scene, is there a way to make the stars smaller so when I turn up the brush size I don't get huge dots?
Aaaaaaah. I've been using another, apparently very unnecessarily complex technique, to create stars and planets in Photoshop. Good to know there's an easier method of doing it!
Santa Maria Dios. This shit is fucking hard. Good thing I have all summer. I'm going to learn Photoshop, AfterEffects, Premiere Pro, Flash Professional, and Dreamweaver.
Mr. IceflowStudios
@ 2:40, you say e2e7ff for your baby blue color. You actually enter in 62e7ff.
Thumbs up so he can see and add an annotation to correct the video. =)
@IceflowStudios Thanks a bunch, I currently use Camtasia which allows me to do stuff like that but I am wanting a better option for adding captions when writing code.
URGH my damn star brush isnt working it doesnt even show up, ive done it before and it worked but forgot to save the preset :/ now theres litterallly nothing
Check mine out on deviantart, its called Awoken A New Begining, also check out The Electric Universe on deviantart. I used this tutorial but in a different way.
Are you also having problems, where the sphere comes out strange in shape after you applied the filter to it ? I think i might be having the same problem as you.
my selection with the sphere doesnt have the ants running on the grey area like yours.. just the bottom of the picture then it messes up the sphereize part
@Yusuf677 actually indesign and illlustrator are for designing because they work with vectors, photoshop is used for picture manipulation, editing and retouching.
i love your tutorials but cant really afford photoshop have you ever thought about (or already done) doing some tutorials for GIMP? or other free similar programs?
Howard, can you please slow down when you are doing tutorials, you are going through things so quickly its hard to keep up without pausing the video.
how you choose the right colour for interacting with the planet texture , because i can't and just filling the circle with the colour i have choise
when i select the circle it only selects the portion that is within the canvas and not the entire circle.. and you cant speherize a half circle.. help?
Thank you for sharing and excellent information contained...content presented is way to fast though.
You go so damn fast man, "Hey everyone! click a new layer and djnwcidberbwfbrhewbfheb, now you're done, post your results on our facebook page!!"
hey bro i found out how. you can still ctrl + click it to make a selection and i think by pressing alt and dragging you can duplicate the mask
Hey I love the vid, but can you follow this vid up with the creation of some interesting nebulae? Just more space effects :) great vid ur the best
Why can't stephen hawking explain the universe as simply as you do? Wouldn't it be so much easier if it was just brushes and layer styles?
Wow.. Really impressive! But could You add Photoshop shortcust which You use at current time in video? It would be really helpful. Thanks :)
What is the texture called for the second planet? you said you got it off "Deviantart" but never said what it was called.. Please help!!
A little tip for everyone who have problem with the distortion function not showing up, just go to image->mode and select 8 bits.
i'm having trouble using the mask of the elipse for the planet texture. i'm using cs6 and there is no thumbnail. need help pls :)
can anybody help me?I have problem with inner and outer glow,whenever i set color it will always be black or white. i need help :/
I'm having trouble with the shape not going off canvas. When I do the inner glow it includes the bottom and side edges of the canvas.
