In this tutorial, I will show you how to make the easiest, most realistic starry sky, with only a few simple steps.
Ok, first open a new canvas, at least 640x480 pixels, and fill it with black:
Click Filter > Noise > Add Noise and use these settings:
Amount: 15%
Distribution: Gaussian
Monochromatic: Checked
Click ok, you will have rendered some noise onto your canvas. Create a new layer and drag it to the top of the list, fill it with black and click Filter > Add Noise (top of the list,) or simply type ctrl+f (last used filter.) You will have a second layer with slightly different noise pattern:
Now select the top layer and set the blending mode to Overlay, then right click the top layer and click Merge Down:
Now, you can leave it how it is, or you can increase the contrast to make a fuller star field. To do this, simply click Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast and drag the contrast up, I've found that 20-25% makes for the most realistic looking star field. And this is the final product:
This can be used for many practical purposes, but the original reason I figured this out was for a Star Wars animation my friend was making, which turned out quite good.
