PS production of high precision Space Map (2)

Below, we will add three-dimensional icing to the sphere by adding a high light and shadow.

19. First the high light portion. Copy Layer 1, the layer 1 copy free change, width and height are shrunk to the current 65%, the execution of Gaussian blur, radius of 88. (Figure 28)

Figure 28

20. Reset the color board, set the background color to RGB (255,246,231), fill the Layer 1 copy with the background color, keep the transparent area. Change the layer blending mode of layer 1 copy to "overlay" and the layer opacity to 77%. (Figure 29)

Figure 29

21. Select Layer 1, copy, the Layer 2 copy free change, width and height are magnified to 105%, and move some distance to the left and up, set the Gaussian blur radius of 46 pixels. (Figure 30)

Figure 30

22. Set foreground color to RGB (50,39,68), fill layer 1 copy 2, preserve layer transparent area. Change the layer blending mode to "multiply", opacity to 95%, hold down the ALT key, and then group the two layers on the layers panel by clicking between Layer 1 and Layer 1 copy 2. (Figure 31)

Figure 31

23. Select Layer 1 Copy, copy, the layer 1 copy 3 layer opacity set to 73%, free change, the width of the contraction to 81%, near the left side of the sphere. (Figure 32)

Figure 32

24. Set the foreground color to RGB (186,209,236), fill layer 1 copy 3, keep the transparent pixels in the layer, set the layer blending mode to soft light, select the Layer 1 copy, change the layer opacity to 52%, change the layer freely, set the width to 88%, and close to the right side of the sphere. (Figure 33)

Figure 33

25. Group the layer 1 copy and the next layer, grouping the layers 1 Replicas 3 and Layer 1 replicas. Rename Layer 1 copy 3 to "light2", Layer 1 copy renamed "LIGHT1", Layer 1 copy 2 renamed "Shodow", Layer 1 renamed "Planet".

26. Select Layer light1, free change, the width and height are set to 116% (Figure 34), Gaussian blur processing, radius of 13 pixels. In this way, we will be very good to show the Earth's surface and back smooth, the feeling of the ball more real.

Figure 34

The atmosphere is the Earth's barrier, and now we are making the aura of the atmosphere in space.

27. Select Layer Planet, copy layer, select Planet Layer again, free change, width and height are enlarged to 101%, you may think that this value is somewhat small, but our image is 2100x2100 pixel, 1% of the difference in 100% size scale of the figure will be very obvious. And this ratio is also more appropriate for the real situation. Because of the reflection and refraction of light, the atmosphere is visually blue, in the layers panel, lock the transparent pixels, set the foreground color to RGB (202,230,49), fill the layer and deselect, unlock the state. Blur the Gaussian filter a little bit, with a radius of 8 pixels. (Figure 35)

28. Copy the planet layer, Get Planet Copy 2, adjust the order of the layers, put Planet 2 up one layer, put on the planet copy, and join the group automatically (figure 36). Load the opacity area of the layer planet, shrink the selection to 96%, feather 20 pixels, remove the image in the selection, and show the effect of the atmosphere. Continue adjusting to change the layer blending mode to "screen" to increase the +78 brightness (Figure 37a,37b). Rename the current layer to "front glow", rename the planet layer to "back glow", and rename the planet copy layer to "planet". This completes the beautiful atmosphere.

Next, we're going to use the channels we've done to make some clouds.

29. Select the layer planet to hide the four layers on it: light2, light1, shadow, and front glow. Load the channel CLOUD1 selection, reverse, and create a new layer on top of the planet layer, named "Clouds". Sets the foreground color to white, fills the selection, and the opacity is 100%, canceling the selection. (Figure 38)

Figure 38

30. Rotate the clouds layer counterclockwise 90 degrees, then flip vertically, slight gaussian blur, radius 1.8, eliminate the perfect edge. Reduce layer opacity to 21% (Figure 39).

Figure 39

31. Load the channel cloud3 selection, select Cloud3 in the channel panel, and deselect. Use two times cloud filters continuously to render channel selections. Open the Color Order dialog box, set the input level to 0,1.00,167, and the excellent Order 45,255 (Figure 40a), increase the contrast in the channel, deselect. (Figure 40b)

Figure 40a

Figure 40b

32. Return to the RGB channel, load the channel CLOUD3 selection, reverse the selection, create a new layer on the Clouds "Cloud2", fill the selection with the foreground color (Figure 41).

Figure 41

33. Load the layer planet the selection, shrink the selection by 70%, a large area of feather, and a radius of 100 pixels. Select the reverse selection, turn on the warp > Rotate distortion Under the Filter menu, set the angle to 624, and deselect. (Figure 42)

Figure 42

34. Rotate the planet layer counterclockwise 108 degrees (Figure 43), load the Channel planet selection, perform the spherical twist filter, and the number is still 76. (Figure 44)

35. Create a new layer "CLOUD3" on the CLOUD2, load the selection of the channel CLOUD1, and select the reverse selection. Select CLOUD1 in the channel panel, reset the swatches, and perform two layered clouds (Figure 45). To adjust the levels of color, the input level is set to 0,1.37,154, the output level is set to 80,255 (Figure 46a), increase the color area in the channel (Figure 46b), deselect and then adjust with the color order, set the output color order for 54,1.33,204 (Figure 47a), further strengthen the contrast (figure 47b).

36. Return to the RGB channel, load the channel CLOUD1 selection, reverse the selection, fill the selection with white, deselect (Figure 48). Flip the layer horizontally and rotate it slightly to stagger the angle of the cloud (Figure 49).

37. Create a new layer cloud4 on the CLOUD3, load the channel CLOUD4 selection, and fill the white with the reverse selection. Rotate 30 degrees, deselect, Gaussian blur 0.4 pixels (Figure 50). Copy the cloud4, rotate the copy 120 degrees, and merge downward (Figure 51). Select Layer cloud2, drop layer opacity to 88%, Gaussian blur 0.8 pixel radius, show hidden layer. (Figure 52)

Finally, we'll make a space background. Regardless of the planetary relationship next to the Earth, we simply add a foil to the star.

Figure 53

38. Select the background layer, create a new layer on it 1, reset the color swatch, and fill the layer with black. Perform two layered cloud filters (Figure 53), reduce brightness to 39, reduce contrast to 53, add noise, number 100, Gaussian distribution, monochrome (Figure 54), perform a level command, set the median value to 0.10, and reduce the noise distribution (Figure 55).

39. Copy Layer 1, make the copy layer Gaussian blur, radius 0.8, flip 180 degrees, set the layer blending mode to "screen", Adjust the color order in the gray coefficient of 0.75, select Layer 1, adjust the color level, set the input color order for 107,0.43,250, do Gaussian blur, radius of 0.3; Merge the two layers and name the merge layer "stars" (Figure 56).

In this way, all the work is done, the following is a 25% thumbnail (Figure Genesis Planet, but because the compression ratio is too high, the details of the loss of the more powerful), is it spectacular? There is also a local detail chart (Figure 57). Well, hope you can finish, to everyone, also give yourself a surprise!
