Creating A Star Pattern This tutorial will show you how to create realistic star pattern in the sky.
Step 1:
Lets start with a new canvas of 600 X 400.
Step 2:
Lets use the fill tool and fill it in black.
Step 3:
Lets duplicate our original layer by right clicking on the original layer and chosing duplicate layer. Make it a linear dodge.
Step 4:
On the new layer choose Filter/Noise/Add Noise. Choose something similar to what I have below
Step 5:
With the same layer selected choose Image/Adjustements/Levels. Make sure you choose something similar to what I have below.
Step 6:
It should look something like this thus far.
Step 7:
You will now be using the clone stamp tool. Make sure you have the stamp tool set to the values that I have below. Give it a Linear dodge mode, opacity of around 50% and flow of 100%. Now its time to have fun. Use the stamp on as many sections of the stars. Clone away to your hearts content.
Step 8:
We will now merge the two visible layers of stars.
Step 9:
Once the two layers are merged we will use the Image/Adjustements/Levels tool and create a set similar to below.
Step 10:
We will then choose Image/Adjustments/Color Balance and chose what is below.
Step 11:
Once again it is Image/Adjustments/Levels. Pick something similar to what we have below.
