Be my fan on FacebookPhotoshop action to create an outer space scene

The net is full of tutorials about creating an outer space image, but every one of them, in order to achieve good results, require the user (you) to manually draw stars or adjust some parameters.
The real challenge is to code an action that creates an outer space without any drawing by the user.
The result I got, is a quite realistic outer space, and every time I play the action I get a different image.
Look at the examples:
As you can see, results are quite good, especially for game design.
Download the action and run into Photoshop.
I developed it with CS2 and I cannot test with any other platform so if you have a different version and the action runs, please let me know.
The action stops itself when you can change the image size and when you can change the background color of the nebulas you will created.
Enjoy it and let’s start coding space games…

[...] Line 2: Attaching the movie previoulsy created and linkaged as starz. The space scene you can see in the background. I made the scene with the Photoshop action to create an outer space scene. [...]
i cant open the file =( pls help me dude =(
When running in Photoshop CS3 I get to pick the two background colours, and then it fails with the error message:
“Could not complete the command because the selected area is empty.”
It appears to have reached the stage
Difference Clouds
Set current layer
Make layer
Fill
And another follow-up: that was using a canvas of 850x75px; when I used an 850x500px canvas it completed without an error.
Dude, how do you use Action in photoshop?

Took me a while to figure out how to use Action and where to find it but I found out eventually.

Awesome, well done!
Hey there, Emanuele. I’ve used this action to create the backgrounds for my space game, GravPull. You wanted someone to create some space game with it, so there you go. :)
I’ve used some other filters on the end result of your action but you should be able to recognize it if you take a look at my game.
Anyways, I’ve been reading your blog for a few months and I enjoy in very much. I don’t know where you get the time to blog so frequently. Keep it up!
