Step 5: Once that's done, Edit > Cut your planet from the layer it is on. Paste it into a new transparent layer and delete the old layer. This gets rid of some annoying pixel artefacts around the rim of the planet, leaving you with a nice, smooth edge to work with. This is now our "Planet" layer (you can now delete the previous layer you just cut away from).

Layer > Duplicate your planet layer, and then go to Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options.  Enter the settings as they are on the left, but do not leave the dialog by pressing OK yet.

Step 6: Navigate over to the Outer Glow section of the layer effects dialog and duplicate the settings on the left.  The glow colour you need has a hexadecimal value of #6283A7.

Quote from misswynne;25556: ...I just applied the entire texture to the planet, instead of using the textured brush. Seems to have worked okay, and it looks almost the same. I love this tutorial, it's pretty sweet.

I live this too, it's not complicated.

Quote from Suzaku_Reborn;25479: I'm having trouble doing the painting. And then on the 3rd page, step 8 & 9 where it says the effects layer should only have the effects. I do step 7 with the atmosphere, and then I link the new transparent effects layer and the Planet copy layer, but when I merge them together, the planet is still there. Please help! :confused:

It took me a bit to figure out this step as well. I made the Fill of the top planet layer zero (0%) and then did the merge to get the effects layer to look right.

I was wondering is anyone could do me a favor. I can't do steps 2 & 3. I've been tring for hours and i can't seem do get it to look right or even close to right. Would someone please start it on a 1280x1024 document, do up to step 4 and then save it and send it to me so i can finish the rest.It is just for myself and i won't be posting it any where so its not like i'm trying to scam anyone. My e-mail is jacob_7_blue@hotmail.com. It would be very much appreciated.

This is a really nice tutorial. One idea if i may add, a lense flare behind the planet on the background looks really good.

Thx
