I'm not sure how make stars in Photoshop CS3. Also, I'd like to learn how to make this purple looking space on this picture below. Last but not least, I need to learn how to make a lightning texture, anyone willing to teach me? --------------------

I used an effects in After Effects to simulate realistic stars. I guess to do this in photoshop you'd have to pint them or something. --------------------

Erasing background from an image Any tips on how to make this easier? I tried the background eraser tool but I want to keep the blue lighting, and it kept erasing his head because its harder to see. --------------------

In photoshop you can either use the color select tool or masking tools, or if you have after effects you can color key or mask out. The pen tool is in both programs, you have to simply cut around the characters and use feather to remove them. I've done this process a lot for many objects I need to cut away from the background. The other options is color select or color key. Both might be tricky since the color you are trying to remove is black and the character has black on him. --------------------
