[Award Winner] Easy Nebula background tutorial (photoshop)

[Vandy]

Hi, kimey.

Again, thank you for this excellent and quite fun tutorial. I've tried my hand at it and, as you said in your post, it isn't an "exact science". Nonetheless, I found your tutorial very useful, educational and fun to do.

I've attached my first nebula called the "Horsehead Nebula". I found a cloud picture that when put on its side, resembles a horse head and just had to use it.

Endjoy.

Regards,

Vandy

Hey, very nice! Glad you found the tutorial useful. It's a good intro to using layers.

Just found this tutorial and tried to make something similar with GIMP. Any comments? (The stars are either Supanova effects or brush dots)
