Thank you so much Howard for your efforts

[@BoyOfLol]

WHAT CAN YOU NOT DO WITH PHOTOSHOP MAN?? YOU'RE SO GOOD!!

[@2bamentor]

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!

[@markever234]

Your techniques in this video have opened many doors into other areas besides celestial creations. Very good indeed!

[@b_g_c3281]

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!!!!!!

[@menotyou5998]

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.

[@Gio.design]

its awesome because he is now making advance tutorials!!! well done howard

[@HowardPinsky]

@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.

[@JoeyDynamite2008]

Brilliant tutorial and easy to follow. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world.

[@blinkymon]

Saw this on Facebook, really wanted you to make a tutorial. And here it is! You're great!

[@KevinRice]

Gotta say Howard this is probably one of my favorites

[@erikcausevic5373]

So simple but tricky! Nice tut ;)

[@EmeffMonkey]

ADD ALL THE GLOWS! Awesome tut.

[@liquidmoonlightcom]

Great tutorial and all without taking a single breath.

[@HowardPinsky]

@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?

[@TheFerrarifan18]

By far the best tutorial I have ever seen! I have learned sooo much from this. You kept it simple, you explained everything and didn't assume that we already knew how to do something. And you didn't sound rushed! Very nice job!!!

[@HowardPinsky]

@sportyio3 It might be, but I'm a big fan of using custom brushes.

[@Miny000000]

The great thing about your tutorials is that I can apply elements of it to other completely different projects. For example, I now would think to use spherize on circles to give it some depth

[@HowardPinsky]

@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.

[@rafsoverflow]

when i think you cant impress me more you come up with the most amazing tutorial ever... highly impressed

[@HowardPinsky]

@DragonBreath7575 Yep. I'm not the best fine artist, but I play to do something around digital painting eventually.

[@ThomasJoseph315]

Very Nice! I have always enjoyed your work! Thank you for the Tutorial!

[@faztclix]

Sweet, awesome wallpaper! Cheers Iceflows

[@Live4Christ1995]

[@Neeveck]

I'm watching this tutorial for the 4th time, I love it! I got different picture every time, I'm just trying new ways and other colors, and this is the best tut I've ever seen.

[@TheImaginePixels]

Awesome video Howard!

[@HowardPinsky]

@yaelypower I was working with a 1280x720 72dpi document.

[@Livtayor]

Thank you so much. I knew how to use layer styles, but I was never taught how to apply them correctly. Thank you so much for a very professional tutorial.

[@katakaka1z]

[@AshrafEzzat]

[@GadgeLLMTB]

[@frogos13store]

[@TalentkeyMedia]

Excellent tutorial! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@TheVegardH]

Man, i love space pictures!

[@zeHatWearingMan]

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

[@wiggleyworm3712]

I don't even have photoshop and your still one of my favourite youtubers!

[@FallingOctoberProd]

great tutorial and a beautiful outcome!

[@taylorjamesmusicuk]

One of the best "Space scene" tutorials I've found! :D

[@HarshTripathi]

Great! If only you'd made this video a year ago. I had to make a space scene, and I had to go through hours and hours of tutorials. You nailed it in 10 mins!

[@Samuntrus]

This has to be your best tut yet! :D

[@mohsinfareed1797]

Howard, It is really very helpful and well explained. Thanks for the tutorial

[@aniruddh121]

saw it,made it,showed it to my friends,like a boss!! u r awesum

[@maja1658]

Great tutorial buddy it was very helpful.!! Thanks.!!

[@05faber]

Fantastic work again Howard! :)

[@heyhelloallpeople]

OMG! Excellent Tutorial!

[@ZeynTM]

Thank you very much. Great tutorial/explanation.

[@zacbell151]

this is the best tutorial yet, easy to follow, good commentary. Good job sir

[@seabasswallyworld]

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.

[@boogie00389]

Awesome tutorial!!!

[@Kazishairslikesoradd]

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

[@plumpbuttler2782]

thanks so much now i know an even larger variety of techniques i can use when making things for my subscribers or friends

[@ukn69]

Loving it everyday, thanks for the new wrinkles in my brain :)

[@michaeljreedy]

This is the first tutorial of yours I saw and now I'm hooked! I've learned so much, thank you!

[@weshall1071]

best tutorial i have ever watched on youtube for this kind of thing.

[@ErfMuck]

+Wes Ha ll Sorry, I have to disagree. there were steps missing and for us novices were left scratching our heads. there are better and much more thorough ones out there. That said generally it was good but he needs to include every step and not miss any.

[@Neeveck]

Very good tutorial! Love it!

[@RLP091]

I'm developing a game called Space Tunnel. What a coincidence that you made a tutorial that suits my project so perfectly! Thank you for this great episode! :)

[@SobouUindo]

Thank you!! This was a phenomenal step-by-step tutorial!!

[@pondorbox]

Really great tutorial ! Thanx Howard !!

[@frostminer9028]

Thank you for this! so wonderful and creative Youre one of the best keep doing this I will expect more awesome manipulations

[@mrjclim]

Man, you have a really good voice. I hope you were my professor in each of my subjects!

[@nmydesign]

Your tutorial save my day. Thank you

[@BustAdd]

[@durtX43]

WOW! How do you come up with those ideas to make that effect, it's just amazing.

[@Smennyboy]

Yet another fantastic tutorial, thanks a lot ! :)

[@muzikluvah72]

great tutorial. learned a lot of new techniques. loved it.

[@mitchynz]

Mate, this is sick!

[@dr3wsk11]

Thanks for this vid! Had to do a lot of pausing to keep up, but still a great vid! Took me a minute to find out how to change levels on CS6 but that was my only hang up! Looking forward to more tutorials!

[@slaughterhousecitydesigns6517]

SO EASY!!! LOVE IT!

[@Muwex]

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! :)

[@pollansuxs]

Great man! Really nice tutorial!

[@dxrulezzz]

Great tutorial! I'm a big fan of your videos! For a future little idea I know I would like to see a video or article about the different blend modes (color dodge, linear burn, lighten, etc) I've never truly understood what all of them mean or do specifically, just played with them and see what looks good.

[@jerneje]

sweet tutorial! lots of useful stuff, thx.

[@ruba2918]

This man is crazily amazing.........nice bro....

[@ReformationDesigns]

Your tutorials are phenomenal. Thank you.

[@HowardPinsky]

[@stewartb4016]

[@nikkislosinit]

Amazing tutorial!!! I MUST try this one! Thanks for the inspiration. :D

[@megaminomakai]

[@Cisumevoli]

Wow, simply amazing! I really like this tutorial. Great job!

[@zmrj3000]

awesome job! keep up the good work!

[@richardamat]

nice tutorial dude! more power

[@BeatleFloydZeppelin]

Great tutorial! Before this I was using noise and levels adjustments to create starfields. Its a lot faster, but I can control the effect better with a custom brush. Thanks for the tip :D

[@uome20bukz]

Just search for textures on Google Images. You can use a lot of textures to make a planet surface. Rusty metal textures, rock/granite textures. Any texture that looks rough and rugged.

[@vickiwickman4273]

awesome, but would love it if there was a "slower" version of this lesson. Fun to go along and try to do it myself but had to stop /start too many times and some steps were either assumed or left out. You are very talented Mr Pinsky! Maybe this is not for beginners, but I almost had it! Thank you for sharing!

[@HowardPinsky]

@MadLittleMods ScreenFlow. It allows me to add those zooms afterwards in post.

[@GUN2151]

Hey nice video, good explination. You get a thumbs up.

[@BleachedRainbows]

I usually start drawing on a large canvas, and when I'm finished, I change the image size smaller. That way, shapes and objects become more clear, and that little line that just doesn't look right looks... Well, corrected. I do digital painting in Photoshop, I'm not sure if you do painting too or photomanipulation. But I hope that helps. :)

[@mayrey1]

Awesomeness!!!

[@HowardPinsky]

@mikeymoo27 Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@kjelll98]

this was absolutely epic :)

[@favbeats]

this helped my design project so much. thanks!!

[@mjvcaiisme2010]

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.

[@oYSpongebobYo]

@Yusuf677 actually indesign and illlustrator are for designing because they work with vectors, photoshop is used for picture manipulation, editing and retouching.

[@rafasc94]

how this is amazingly well explained. thanks

[@DerkJanSpeelman]

Great tutorial!!!

[@MajLagSpike]

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?

[@Aquavidify]

Hey, Amazing Tute, could you tell me what screen capture software you use? I like the zoom feature but my software doesn't seem to have that, Would really appreciate you telling!! Keep up the great work! Thanks.

[@Greyghost096]

freaking awsome!! great job!

[@KittyToft]

Love this tutorial. Perfect!
