Create Star Light Trails with Photoshop!

In this tutorial, we will use Adobe Photoshop to create star trails from a single photo. We are going to use a seldom used "Duplicate Transform" trick to quickly create streaking stars and trails of light that drift across the sky. We will tackle some of the pit falls you may encounter along the way and learn to fix drifting and dragging pixels, streaky lights, objects in the sky, cloning and healing with Photoshop, Content-Aware Fill in Photoshop, as well as some light blending to help pull the entire image together in the end. If you want to learn to create star light trails in Photoshop, this is the tutorial for you!

    It's OK. I've taken almost the entire last two years off from the channel. It will take a few months of consistently making videos to build up new momentum. It will happen! I just have to keep up with it now. Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words!

    Once saw x2 shooting stars of that calibration collide in the night sky while sipping Chandon on the rooftop terrace on my subtropical retreat!!?? This spectacle lite up an area large enough for me to witness the cosmic expanse which is the space that surrounds us! PS Space was green.. ☮️

    You sure, that was Halley's comet? That's the one, which appears every 76 years and was last seen in 1986 ;)

    Long exposure astrophotography takes a long time and a steady tripod. This gives an option to play with a post-production technique if you get a nice starry shot and want to play with it in post.
