did you change the brightness of the brush colour whilst you were painting the planet in, 2:20 - 2:25

please help quickly. also i was wondering if you could send me the galaxy i am trying to make it but am struggling, it's only i am stuck to a deadline for a project and this shouldnt't be the main thing i do.

Thanks

1. Nope, I didn't change the brightness. I narrate everything I do.

2. I'm not sure I condone using someone's work for your own project. That said, all my photos are on my website.

using the texture you can use clouds in the atmosfear but my canvis is normaly 5000x5000

[raulium]

Yes, you certainly can. I try to keep the layers separate until I spherize. I create a new layer, leaving it transparent on top of the original planet layer and work on it that way.

You may use any size canvas you want, the larger the better, IMHO. I used a 500x500 for the purpose of the tutorial.

This is actually really interesting to watch. I am sure I will be messing around with this! Thank-you so much, I really appreciate it.

[KaliFail]

I'm stuck on 6:24

i did exactly what you did, i merged the layers but the atmosphere doesnt show like yours

[sbfanatic62]

That's awesome. I'll definitely be trying this.

I love this tutorial but unfortunately, I have Elements and can't adjust glow settings like it says to. I'm keeping track of this one for when I do get a full Photoshop version, however.

Excellent tutorial, definitely gonna help in my future videos

Interesting tutorial! My only concern is the "emboss" layer seemed a little too strong. Perhaps dulling it a little may help. (lowering the opacity)
