How to make a star field.
1.Start with a completely black background layer. 2.Create a new layer (layer>new>layer) Layer 1 3.Then choose red as you foreground color and black as your background color. 4. Then use the cloud filter (filter>render>clouds) 5. then use the difference clouds filter(filter>render>difference clouds) use this repeatedly until you get a formation that you like. 6.Create a new layer (layer>new>layer) layer 2 7. change you foreground color to blue 8. Then use the cloud filter (filter>render>clouds) 9. then use the difference clouds filter(filter>render>difference clouds) use this repeatedly until you get a formation that you like. 10. Change the opacity of layer 1 & 2 to around 30 or so. the more opacity you have the more it looks like a nebula rather then a star field. 11. create a new layer (layer>new>layer) layer 3 and fill it with black. 12. use the noise filter (filter>noise>add noise) set the amount at 18%, distribution glausian, with monocromatic checked. 13. make a duplicate layer of layer 3 call it layer 4 14. use the glausian blur filter (filter>blur>glausian blur) with a setting of about 7 on layer 4 15. set the opacity of layer 4 to 50% at set the layer to overlay. 16. merge layers 3 and 4 creating and new layer 3 17.change the layer settings for layer 3 setting to screen. 18. enhance the brightness/contrast of layer 3 so the white speckles look like stars. (image>adjustments>brightness/contrast) 19 then use the lens flair filter repeatedly to make big stars. (filter>render>lens flair) and place then randomly and of different sizes all over the picture.
