Planet Tutorial -habitable planet-

Update: Check out my video tutorial here:

This is my first planet tutorial and also my first planet I made with the 3D mode of Photoshop,
but I will maybe do another tutorial with the "traditional technique". I won´t submit this tutorial
to any groups at first, because I would at first you to test it! Give me feedback which steps are
unclear, if you need more screenshots or any other corrections and I will correct it.

Sorry my Photoshop is in German (2015 version), but I wrote the whole text in English and the
commands/ tools are all at the same spot of the programm. If it is too unclear I will write the
english name over the german one.

I tried to add also some basic commands (all the ctrl+XXX commands), because I don´t know
how much you´re used to Photoshop, but you can also do most of them manuell with rightclick
and the command selection there.
