Creating Corona for Photoshop Space Scene

Video Transcript

"Well, I'm kind of liking our lava planet now, but, you know what? I think I'm going to make it the sun of this little solar system we're creating here. So, let's look at it here. What we're going to do is, we're going to select on it here. And let's go ahead and select our pick tool there. There we go. We have our layers selected, like this. And what we're going to do is, we're just going to go ahead-let's go and do a-let's do a blending option here. Oops. Double-click here. Let's give this an outer glow, and quite an outer glow. Let's go over here. If we select on it, you can see. We've got a color here selected. I don't really like this. Well, I don't know. Let's see. Let's see how this color comes out. Let's see if we can spread that outer glow out a little bit. There we go. There's a nice, soft texture for this. Let's see if we can get this in a different contour. The contour will adjust for us here. There we go. Once again, this is all playing with it, getting it to-this is where your artistic ability comes in-getting it to something that you really like. I think maybe that looks fine there. Go ahead, and we'll go ahead and hit "Ok." And let's change this color. I'm really not liking this color too much, so let's go back to our orangish color, like so. That's a little bit too much. Let's bring it down a little bit. There we go. I like that. There we go. Now, of course, you can add, you know, more with your techniques here-a softer, precise, blah, blah, blah. All kinds of options here just for you to play with. We're just going to hit "Ok" with that. And I definitely like that. So let's go ahead and take him-let's go ahead and position him up in the corner here because I'm very partial to where my sun is located at. We'll go ahead, "Shift." Oops. Control-Z. Let's grab the corner one here as I hit "Shift." Let's bring this up, and there he is, positioned. There is our lava planet/sun. So, there we go. Let's keep on going and see what else we can make on this scene."
