| This is step 4 of the Kit Tutorial. Open a new image about the size of the moon you want. In this case it's 100 x 100. Background set to black and color depth set to 16 million colors. Paint the image using the "flood fill" tool set to "linear gradient" and any tolerance. |
|
| Using the "selection" tool set to [circle feather = 1], draw a selection the size of your moon to be. We can resample some at the end if it's too big but we want it to be close. I ended up resampling down to 75 x 75 to get it to fit my image. |
|
| Change foreground color to white. Using the "air brush" tool set to [size=100, round, opacity=128, paper=Marsh] , spray the center of the round selection about 3 times. Careful not too bright. We don't want to kill the blue. |
|
| Change foreground color to yellow and reduce opacity of the "air brush" to about 80 and "paper" to Luna. Play with the different textures. The idea is to get a mix of textures of varying colors. Spray the center of the round selection once. |
|
| With the circle still selected, copy it the clipboard [edit > copy]. Shown here it's been pasted as a new image. Not really necessary except to show as it really is. If it's too big for your image (as mine is) resample it down. Avoid resampling larger , it makes it spotty. |

Open the image to receive the moon, in this case the "kit" image. Insure the moon is still in the clipboard and then paste it in [edit > paste > as new selection]. Move it by getting over the top of it and left click and drag. Drop it where you want.
