Basic Fiery Planet Effect
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed.
Welcome to the tutorial, I’ll be showing you a nice and simple way how to make a really cool looking planet with a few simple steps.

Step 1
Open a 400×400 document and fill it with black (#000000).

Step 2
Make a new layer (CTRL+Shift+N).
Use the Elliptical Marquee Tool (it should be found on the top-left hand side of your tools pallette) and make a perfect circle in the center of your canvas (hold Shift to make a perfect circle).

After I apply inner and outer glow, it applies it to the edge of my canvas. What have I done wrong?
P.S. I am a beginner so I’ve probably missed something really simple
