    Corey you totally rock! That was such a great tutorial. You always provide the creative sanity in my engineer dominated world.

    Cool Tut! But when I am doing the stars after the levels adjustment, I have no twinkling stars.

    Is this good or bad??

    My end result isn’t like Corey’s either.

    Yes, indeed great tutorials, but can I have the transcript for them? I mean instructions step by step. I would like to try to create the effects myself.
    Thanks.

    Hey i really enjoyed this tut, but i got stuck on the Luminosity part. Im using Vista (photoshop cs3) and for my Luminosity it doesn’t sparkle/twinkle like yours. Ive never used this Luminosity before so its kind of new to me.
    Could any possibly help me?
    I’m sorry for the trouble..

    Good tutorial. However in you said press shift+delete to go to fill options after you made the first empty layer but its actually Shift+Backspace.

    wow… I have really learned a lot from your tutorials, I’m kind of a beginner, but once i started learning how to do so many cool things from your tutorials, I kind of became addicted. Now I see why my little sister spends so much time playing around with photoshop 😀

    The issue I have is when I hit shift delete, I do not get a fill menu screen that pops up… nothing pops up! Do I have to change something in the preferences or something??

    Woow, really amazing.
    I have just one problem.
    When I want to add those Nebula Clouds, I make a new layer to which I render clouds (without a mask). However, when I go to that layer and Filter–>Render–>Clouds it just makes that layer black. Just… Black… Please help :O

    Those parts of the system that you can hit with a hammer (not advised) are called hardware; those program instructions that you can only curse at are called software. Thanks for you sharing..
