    Hey guys,
    I'm interested in re-creating the photo below because its no very high-res and I'd like to make a bigger one for my desktop.
    I found a big picture of the earth on the net but i'm struggling to find out how to create both the random bright green areas (Brushes??) and the glow effect coming from the earth.

    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thank you

    looks like they used clouds then used motion blur behind and then on a separate layer the colour blur and smudged abit random glow could be brush, there looks to be a few ways to do it

    I would say mess with the render clouds + motion blue, then mess with the hue/sat, and then brightness/contrast and maybe a little outer glow around the earth. might not end up with the same result but close to it

    Someone pooped on a napkin and scanned it in.
