Nebula source is brought into canvas to be used as the background.
step 6 of 14
Sculpture is chopped and moved in and duplications made. They will be scaled to several different sizes and rotated to different angles.
step 7 of 14
Stars are chopped and added then duplicated. they will be placed with dancers after scaling them and spraying with a soft airbrush. More 'starlike' shapes are created by adding lens flares (set at 50)
step 8 of 14
White is airbrushed over stars, then duplications are made and stars are placed in scene as dancers are placed.
step 9 of 14
New figures are chopped from Star Jumping source. They will be stretched similar to original sculpture then duplicated and placed in scene. (Also, they are flipped horizontally and rotated.)
step 10 of 14
Canvas is lengthened now to allow more room for figures so they will not be too close together. Some figures are given a touch more color with hue/sat tool, and also with brightness/contrast tool they will be lightened some to look like some haze is between them and the viewer.
step 11 of 14
Here the final placement of figures has been done, then all layers will be 'merged visible'.
step 12 of 14
Brown filter at 14% and red filter at 43% are added.
