Hey ,that looks great. was looking through my gradients and didnt see from black to white that didnt hace lines in it. Am new to gradients and know there is a way to create the one I want . any help here? Thanks.[excited]

You can create one of your own Pakmn

Double click on the pattern in the toolbar and the Gradient Editor will pop up.
From here on you create your own gradient. It would cost me too much time to explain how, but it's explained in the help files. You might search on the internet using Google using following search argument: "gradient editor" Photoshop

Thanks


I have a really easy way seeing as most of the time half to three quarters of the planet s going be in shadow.Just make circle selection then take a soft low opacity brush in a blue etc and paint along the selection edge and feather it back bit further as you paint,then grab a smaller and make darker strokes inside your others and blur the whole deal and voila a base to start from as you dont need to paint the right side at all.For the blue atmosphere just convert the selection to a path stroke it with an airbrush and reduce the opacity to suit.
