Space Travel

Step 1

Use the next picture in a new document window in Adobe Photoshop, with a black background:

We were allowed to use this picture thanks to Mr. John Steven French from Abrams Planetarium at the Michigan State University.

Step 2

Adjust the picture's position like here:

Step 3

Adjust the picture colors using Image > Adjustments > Color Balance with the next settings:

Set the contrast and luminosity like here, using Images > Adjustments > Contrast/Luminosity:

Step 4

Adjust the picture position again and export the picture:

Step 5

Open the picture which you exported using File > Open . Choose Filter > Render > Lens Flare with the next settings to add a lighting effect to your picture:

Step 6

Use the first moon picture from this tutorial and the "drag & drop" technique to insert a new moon in your scene, resize it and rotate it like here:

Set the Blending Mode for The Layers in the Layers Tab to "Opacity".

Step 7

Duplicate the moon's satellite and place it in a new position; flip it horizontally and vertically like in the picture below:

Step 8

Using a scene effect you can obtain a result like this or something even better (probably I will show you how to do that in another Photoshop tutorial, so don't forget to check DesignTutorials.info frequently ):
