Night Time Skyline This tutorial will show you how to change a boring night sky to a star lit one.
Step 1:
Lets start with this Australian Skyline.
Step 2:
Create a new layer.
Step 3:
Fill the new layer with black using the paint bucket tool.
Step 4:
Now choose Filter/Texture/Grain on your new black layer. 1 intensity and 100 contrast. Make sure your grain type is Sprinkles.
Step 5:
Your image should look someting like this now.
Step 6:
Use the eraser tool and get rid of the excess stars around the buildings and the water. Change your eraser tool to a soft brush and then make the opacity around 30% and go around the rest of the stars in the sky. This will get rid of a lot of the cluster's of stars giving it a more realistic look.
Step 7:
Now choose Image/Adjustments/Brightness/Contrast. Choose something similar to what I have below.
