Now double click on your "stars" layer, check only "Outer Glow" checkbox and enter the settings for glow, like on the picture below. :: Step 4. Create a new layer (name it "clouds"). Change your foreground color to this: #bff8ff, then change your background color to this: #002040. :: Step 5. Now go to Filter -> Render -> Clouds. Change a blending mode for layer "clouds" to Hard Light. like on the picture below. :: Step 6. Now your got something like this: :: Step 6. Change now your foreground color to #eaff5b.
