Do u have a video on star constellations? Like dot patterns...this kinda randomly disburses them. I need to make a dotted or star pattern

[@capturedbymiyah814]

Can I save this stars layer to use in another project or I'd have to do this every time? Great tutorial

Thanks Steve! : )

[@angelictigerette]

I added a bluish black gradient overlay that I was working on. It definitely gave the stars a more realistic look!

[@kennyalbert7348]

Still relevant 3 years later, such a good tutorial! I was today years old when I found out how to make stars in photoshop!

i like this chaneel woow thank you so much

[@hannahmayes2899]

I can get everything to work up until the point of adjusting the levels, as soon as i click 'ok' they go back to being overwhelming. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

[@tokenu3097]

I'm late but I was having the same issue. Go to 'View" then 100% or [Ctrl+1]. Then do the 'adjusting levels' step. Zoom out when done with this step. This worked for me. I hope it helps people in the future as well!

[@ktolsn]

I'm having trouble with my "adjustment levels" not sticking. I see what I desire when the "Levels" box is up (Preview is on), but when I click "OK", the image goes back to having more "noise" than I chose to have. Any ideas of what I can try? Thanks!

[@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel]

Are you viewing the image at a zoom level less than 100%? If so, try zooming in to 100% before making the Levels adjustments. Let me know if that helps.

[@ktolsn]

@@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel if I zoom to 100%, nothing happens when I move the adjustment levels slider.

[@ktolsn]

@@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel also, as soon as I hit "Save" in "Save As" with the settings as they are, you see it adds in even MORE noise while saving, and then some noise disappears after clicking "OK" in the JPEG Options pop-up box.

[@ericcortez8386]

@@ktolsn Having the same problem. Did you ever figure it out?

[@ktolsn]

@@ericcortez8386 No, I did not. I ended up doing a star overlay, I think. Good luck!

Or, you could download one of thousands of free high resolution images available on the web and use it as your starry background in a fifth of the time it would take to do this?

[@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel]

If you are not really interested in learning Photoshop, which is the point of these videos, then sure, you could just download a photo of stars.

[@jestnutz]

What is the dimensions you are using? Mine seems to be zoomed in

[@lickyeah]

Excellent video! Thanks!
