Another Planet
Step 11.
The upper right corner seems empty. We’ll correct it by placing there another planet, but a little smaller.
Step 12.
We change the Blending Mode of layer with the second planet to Screen, Fill: 100%.
Step 13.
Now we’ll change the color of mountains by means of Brush Tool in color regime. The color of brush has to be dark blue, nearer to black.
Step 14.
In the options of layer we will lower Fill to 50%, to make mountains more transparent.
Step 15.
We’ll add the picture of another little planet. Than we dispose it above that big one, in order to seem that it is smaller, but nearer to us.
Step 16.
We change the Blending Mode of layer to Screen, Fill: 100%. With Burn Tool (Range - midtones, Exposure – 50%) we’ll darken the lower and upper part of firmament.
Step 17.
We’ll increase Exposure to 60% and we’ll make water darker.
Step 18.
We’ll return Fill: 100% in tunings of the layer with mountains that it was more comfortable to work with them.
Step 19.
We choose Eraser Tool and, pressing “ctrl”, we make one horizontal motion on the line of connection of mountains and water. Than we take Smudge Tool and we spread clouds neatly (by very short horizontal motions).
Step 20.
Well, mountains are selected somehow from the general picture. They are not enough detailed. We’ll correct this by means of Sharpen Tool.

This was a very good tut, I didn’t read it at all and I went again and made my own project using this idea as the basics. this is what my outcome was.

nice tut.
i think it has a better atmosphere without the
mountain background, but that’s just me.
very good tho.
You did a very nice job on the sky and planets, however, the ocean looks like it’s totally a seperate picture.
Does not match or blend with the sky and planets at all.
No reflections of the clouds or anything on the water.
The water part of the picture is HIGHLY unreal and bad.
Maybe you should stick to planet and sky tutorials.
Well, I guess you couldn’t do that either as you have to use Other Peoples planets in “your” work.
thx sergio, i like your idea
