Creating a simple starfield




Step 1. Create a new image. Fill it with the color black. Then go to filter, noise, add noise. Amount 15, Guassian, Monochromatic.



Step 2. Create another layer. Fill this one with black. Again, go to filter, noise, add noise, and use the same settings. Then go to brightness/contrast. Lower the brightness, and up the contrast until the stars are more spaced out. Set this layer to screen. Then go to the first (background) layer, and brighten/contrast this layer as well. Using the eraser, delete small areas in the top layer, to make the stars look more diverse. You can flatten the layer if you would like.




Step 3. Repeat step 1, but make the stars even more sparse by lowering the brightness way down and the contrast way up, to where theres only a few bright stars on the layer. Put this layer on screen like the others.



With all layers on screen and then flattened-





Step 4. Create a new layer and fill it with black. Then go to filter, render, lens flare. I used the 105mm Prime. Create a small lens flare and then resize it, making it just a little bigger than the rest of the stars. Then desaturate it, and put the layer on screen.



Step5. multiply this layer and resize it, placing it somewhere else on the page. Keep repeating this, until you have a few lens flares throughout the picture.




Step6. Flatten the image, create a new layer, fill it with blue, and set it to overlay. You can adjust the opacity of this layer to whatever you would like.
