This tutorial on how to make a bright starry sky can be of help to anyone who wants a cool desktop background.1. First choose a dark blue to fill the background which will be the sky.
2. Select the Burn Tool and choose the leaf brush, then set the exposure to 15-20%. Burn the background leaving some lighter areas.

Very nice and very easy to do.Nice work.
This is cool, and easy, but helped a lot. I found this just in time for a project. It looks even crazier when you change the colors around, like red.
what is leaf brush?, i’am expert photoshopper and this tutorial is …..
whats the burn tool
I refer back to this tutorial every time I need to make a starry sky. It works great, especially with some improvisation added!
You guys obviously have not ever used photo editing software if you don’t know that there is a freakin burn tool in like everyone. Even Paint.NET has a burn tool. Leaf brush I have never heard of but burn is definetly a given sheesh.
The leaf brush is the brush that looks like a leaf… expert photoshopper indeed.
The burn tool’s the one on the toolbox that’s 7 down and on the right. Right click and choose the little pinchy hand.
Very interested indeed. Great job
Mine doesnt look like that yet
ill play around with it, but nice tutorial mate!
Thank you! Thank you! I’d been searching for a starry sky to use on my website - this is perfect!
Very cool! This is so easy! I probably would have tried to just draw it. In case you don’t know, I would have looked like crap!
Thanks! I found this just in time for my computer graphics class and can totally use this! You rule.
