haha! Elipse problem!! I made it with fixed size but it 'snaps', it can't be placed properly and I don't understand why it snaps! :( so I changed it to normal mode and that means 'trial and error' elipse,, and that one is definitely a miss,, the sides... lol

It looks goodbut I think to pull it off it should have a gloss on the bottom part.

Wow, that second one would go really good with a tutorial I saw to make it look like it's flying through space.

my friend sent me the sun tutorial (it's a word document)
let me copy the tut for you (I know there's a tutorial topic but this isn't something I invented so I don't put it there)

Step 1: Create a new document: 800x800, white background. Then, create a new layer (Ctrl+J)

Step 2: Take your Elliptical Marquee Tool. While holding down shift, create a circle almost the size of your document.

Step 4 (actually step 3): Fill the circle with black (Shift + F5).

Posted Image

Step 5: Then go to Filter > Render > Difference Clouds. Then Press Ctrl+F three to four more times to reapply the filter.

Step 6: Go to Image > Adjustments > Levels and follow up on the settings shown (somewhat).

Posted Image

Step 7: Then go to Filter > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask and give the settings of:
Amount: 475%
Radius: 3
Threshold: 14

Step 8: Then apply the Spherize filter (Filter > Distort > Spherize) with an amount of 100% and then again with an amount of 50%.

Step 9: Open up your Colour Balance dialog box by pressing Ctrl+B or Image > Adjustments > Colour Balance. Give the following settings for each of the items:
Apply the following color levels:
Shadows: [+100] [0] [-100]
Midtones: [+100] [0] [-100]
Highlights: [+70] [0] [-15]

Step 10: Use the Unsharp Mask Filter again only this time set the amount to about 300% and Threshold to 15. (Filter > Sharpen > Unshark Mask)

Step 11: Now create a new document of a size 1024x768. Fill it with Black.

Step 12: Go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise. Give the following Settings:
Amount: 4.9 (More amount means more stars)
Distribution: Gaussian
Monochromatic: Checked.

Step 13: Duplicate the Layer and set the Blending mode to Overlay.

Step 14: Select your Background Layer again and go to Image > Adjustments > Brighness/Contrast. Increase your contrast so that the stars are visible.

Step 15: Now, go back to the burning planet document. Ctrl+Click on Layer 1 to select the planet and then Ctrl+C to copy it to clipboard.

Step 16: Switch to the stars window and paste the planet there. Make sure the planet is on top of the other two layers.


Posted Image

Step 17: Apply the following Blending Options (Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options).

Posted Image

Step 18: If you find the edges of the planet a big jagged, use the Blur Tool ® to blur out the edges.


and that's all :lol: I change the setting a bit whenever necessary

Ok, I'll try to find it. It's intended for GIMP, but I'm sure it would easily work for photoshop too.

edit: Found it here there is a way to make it animate too, but I forgot where that is lol.
