Using Photoshop filters to create a bright planet Sky map Tutorial

Final effect

1. The picture we choose here is a panoramic picture of the night. So the first thing to do is to cut the picture. Intercept the light is more dense, the light is relatively bright place. Notice the proportion of the sky as small as possible.

2, next we to the overall tone of the screen adjustment. The original works of the exposure is not enough, we want to light the effect of the lights, so we have to adjust the exposure. There are many ways to adjust, and we use the curve tool here to adjust.

3, we want to a picture of the deformation, so that the work into a complete square diagram. Select "Image-Image size", in the dialog box to remove the constraint ratio of the selection, the length of the ratio into a square, the size of personal preference.

4, the next is our work to deal with the more important step, using "polar coordinates" to make the work map deformation. The method is to select polar coordinates in filter-twist in the menu bar. In the selection box that appears, select the default planar coordinates to polar coordinates.

5, after the creation of the image in the center and edge of the screen may leave a flaw. There will be radial lines on the edges, we can set the foreground color to black and use the brush tool to slowly smear the edges. The center section uses the clone Stamp tool.

6, we in order to create the inner Earth of the cold and magic, you can change the color of the works. There are still a lot of ways to do this, and here we introduce a simpler approach. Select Image-Edit-color balance to move the adjustment button to cyan and blue.

7, we can add more magic elements for the work, so that the work looks more gorgeous. We download the footage of the moon and birds from the material library and incorporate the two into our work. The concrete way is: The Moon is loaded into Photoshop, the moon layer directly dragged to the geocentric world works, choose the blending mode for "color", and change the opacity to adapt to the brightness of the work. The bird's material is also directly dragged to the core layer, select the blending mode of "multiply", change the opacity, press "ctrl+t" to change the image size, finally create a template, use the brush to wipe out the excess parts.
