Using G.B's Liberty pic. I cloned it and gave it a linear Stained glass transparency.
Adding the star field to the top of the Liberty Jpeg and then using the Content aware photo size to fit the star field without distorting the stars.
I then gave the starfield a Linear Brightness fill, the top 0 and the bottom 100
this removed any stars from the horizon. I selected all applied clipview and exported as a Jpeg. Finally, brought the pic. back into Xara and applied the Levels tool, just a shade darker and lighter. The stars in this field are blue but you can make them white by altering the light contone. Included the Xar file in case any one wants to change things to thier preference.
Hope you find it useful Liberty.xar
