Step 8: Create a new layer on top of your second planet layer. Link
this layer to the top planet layer (the one with all the effects). Your
layer palette should look the image opposite. |
 |
Step 9: Then merge 'Planet copy'
onto the Effects layer. This will make your effects just a layer instead of
actual effects... so you'll now have a layer with just your blue ring of
atmosphere in it. You'll need to set the layer mode of the atmosphere layer to
Linear Dodge again to make it match the image once more. This is now our
"Effects" layer. Again, it is a good idea to rename it so that you don't
lose track of your progress. |
Step 10: Next we'll grab the Eraser Tool... Same brush size as the one we used to set our original sphere in step 2. Gently erase around the dark
area on your planet (on your Effects layer). You should get a result like this...

Step 11: Let's add a
tiny bit of embossing to the planet to really make it pop. Right now you should
still have three layers total... Effects layer on top of planet on top of
a black
background.
Duplicate the planet layer and name it Shadows. Go to Filter > Stylize >
Emboss and run the filter with the angle set to -33°,
height at 1px, and amount at 500%.
This done, Image > Adjustments > Desaturate the embossed layer, duplicate
it, and name it "Highlights". Your layer palette should now resemble the one
on the left. |
