Create Moon Corona usong photoshop

Description: This tutorial helps you design what we call a moon corona. The moon corona is an ice crystal formed around the moon.


Descriptions: A moon corona is the ring around the Moon that is caused by the refraction of Moonlight (which of course is reflected sunlight) from ice crystals in the upper atmosphere. The shape of the ice crystals results in a focusing of the light into a ring. In this tutorial, we will go through a method on designing a moon corona with Adobe Photoshop 7.0

1. File >> New and get a pretty big size. Fill the background in with a dark color; I used #002C69 and my canvas size is 600x600.

2. Select the brush tool , select a round brush about 100 pixels in diameter.



3. Change your foreground color to white and make a white circle in the middle of your canvas with the brush tool. Click several times to get a fairly large circle.

,

4. In your layers palette, double click your background layer to make it a workable-ish layer, so now it's called Layer 0.

5. Filter >> Render >> Lens Flare, and position the flare in the white circle thats already in your canvas. Use these settings:



6. With the Elliptical Marquee Tool , make a circle around your flare. Make it fairly bigger than the flare, tool.

7. Layer >> New >> Layer, and with the Paint Bucket Tool , fill in the selection with white in the new Layer (Layer 1). Deselect.

8. With the Magic Wand Tool , select the area outside your white circle. Select >> Feather >> 10 pixels, and delete. Deselect

9. Now, with the Magic Wand Tool, select the white circle, go to Select >> Modify >> Contract and put in 15 pixels.

10. Select >> Feather >> 10 pixels, and then delete the selection. Deselect.

11. Change Layer 1's opacity to 50%.



12. Duplicate Layer 0, and multiply it to make the overall image darker



13. Layer >> New >> Layer, and with your brush tool and several differently sized round brushes, make small stars.
