>A question about this Universe Image Creator: does it work on Mac
Photoshop
>or are there only PC versions available?
Windows only. Same for the other space background generator I know of,
Starbits 7 (IIRC).
If you have Photoshop you can create starfields pretty easy. Create a
new
image, fill with black, do Filter > Noise > Add Noise (I set the amount
between 75-150 with gaussian distribution and monochromatic). Then do
Image
> Adjust > Threshold adjusting the level so the stars are as dense or
sparse as you like. I usualy do another layer and set it's opacity to
50%
to get some dimmer stars in there. Add clouds for that nebula effect and
lens flares for close bright stars. Makes 4-6 servings.
