Step 7.
This is the 3rd part of the Photoshop tutorial. For the animation we're going to have 3 frames, so we need to create 3 layer sets with the stars in different positions. Create a 2nd layer set and name is "s2". Duplicate one of the stars from the "s1" layer set, and then move it to s2. Duplicate it in s2, spreading them around. Repeat this again for another layer set called s3.
 
a)   b)   c)   d)
 
Step 8.
You should now have 3 layer sets, as shown in image a), with stars in different positions. Next create a layer set called "m1" and create a slightly larger star, after zooming in to 1200%. Make sure only s2 & s3 layer sets are invisible and then start to duplicate the medium sized star in m1 (image c). Create 2 more layer sets called "m2" and "m3" and do as we did with the smaller stars, creating 2 other versions.
a)   b)   c)
Step 9.
You should now have create 3 layer sets, each containing radomly dispersed medium stars, and 3 layer sets containing small stars. Then go to GlitterGraphic Photoshop Tutorial - Part 4
