i obviously did something wrong.. lol.. first prob was when i got to the land layer and it says to do ctr+click on the water layer.. i did that and when i tried to spherize it said it was blank... so ctr+click.. does nothing for me lol.. so what i did was copy the water layer and name it land.. but im pretty sure thats what caused most of the problem.. im useing photoshop 6.0 if that helps any :) it could make a goos ice planet though? lol Title: Re: Living Planet Tutorial < Photoshop Post by: Drackin on February 14, 2007, 10:26:41 PM well... i found another tutorial and between the two this is what i came up with...

Title: Re: Living Planet Tutorial < Photoshop Post by: ~kempy~ on May 27, 2007, 12:42:47 PM the bright stars are easy to do in photoshop
