How to create a nightside map?

Post #1by Mr Noob » 09.06.2009, 14:19

Hi

I am working on a solar system for a star called Ross 128 and one of its worlds is volcanic, I have photoshop CS2 so that I can modify the colours etc but the one thing I am eager to know is can you create a nightmap of the planet texture in photoshop?

Cheers
