Thanks. That was helpful. I followed along editing an image of my own, taking notes along the way. The details of my image were quite different (all-sky fisheye shot under a Bortle 1 sky with cooled CMOS OSC camera), but your workflow (with minor variations) was applicable, and I learned some new PS gambits. Your tutorial style is clear, logical, thorough, and comfortably paced. Much appreciated.

Literally one of the best videos for basic Photoshop work for the Milky Way. Thank you for putting in the effort!!!

Love the video - explained the whole process with ease - Thanks

Great video on how to edit. very useful. Thanks for creating it!

Great tutorial, layer masks have been eluding me recently, will certainly try to apply this process to my deep space images! Thanks for the "easy to follow" work flow 👍🏻

Amazing dude. Thank you so much, this has helped me take my photos to the next level!

Awesome! Probably one of the best Milky Way landscape tutorials I've seen. I personally keep forgetting about the Camera Raw Filter!

Very well done!!! I like your method. I do similar adjustments but I live in an area with more light pollution so my stacking method is a little different in the beginning. But when I get to shoot in dark skies, I make small adjustments before stacking. Then photoshop for final editing. Excellent work!!!

This was very helpful. Mine either look overdone to bland. This was just what I needed.

Excellent tutorial , thank you!

Light pollution in the horizon is so annoying! The best way to deal with it is to take the foreground and background separately. Some people consider that cheating. It never has bothered me too much. You have to take them separately when you use a star tracker!

Hey have you considered working with luminosity masks or photoshop panels like the Pro Panel from John Weatherby...I have found it pretty essential to my workflow now since I've used it a couple of years

Congratulations! I am not a native English speaker but easy to follow and very well structured (Already "Like" and subscribe), with a powerfull and natural result!!!. Despite the fact I am an Affinity Photo user I think I can follow all the steps. Just a couple of questions: - Do you not integrate WB adjustment in your process flow? - What do you think about some Nik preset to be applied? Many thanks!!!

op bro thx its very help full

Great video. I have been using 12 stack in Sequator. How much more noise reduction benefit are you getting at 60? Do you use any of the AI options it offers?

I have a question I have a cheaper lens and a lot of the bigger stars are purple and blue because of chromatic aberration is there any way to reduce that or maybe even delete all the stars that are that color??

Hey mate lately started watching your videos and building up interests on astrophotography Can you please try to shoot the 7p/pons wennicke comet ☄️ and is it possible with a lens currently i own sigma 150-600mm on a aps-c camera

Thank you so much for this video. I spent Sunday night shooting and still have to stack my photos but I'll do all the editing following your tutorial. You are very clear, a very logical and natural step by step edit. Congratulations on the final result and on your dedication. One question, I usually start my edits (LR) with the colour temperature. Not that I would change anything in your photo, but I was wondering, did you fix it before the stacking process? Do you do any edit to your raws prior to stacking? Thanks again.

@deltaastrophotography

I occasionally do work on my temperature balance of the raws before I stack! It just depends on if I think it needs it or not. I think I did that in my Orion processing video!

Hey Walt, do you know what GPU Acceleration Required means? I cant use Camera Raw Filter and that box pops up about the GPU.

Wow, 60 light frames and 20 dark frames! I thought I was doing good shooting 25 light frames and 2 dark frames. At what point do you get diminished returns on results with how many frames you shoot?

10 light frames are more than enough. You have to pixel peep after that. After 15, I've saw no more increase in noise reduction.

Just something to think about - if someone doesn't know what the hot keys are, or aren't being told "This hotkey is this option located here in the menu" it isn't very useful to newer people to photoshop. I would have to continuously refer to this video to deselect marching ants instead of knowing where the look in the menu. Generally it's easier and more helpful to show people WHERE something is rather than memorizing hotkeys. The video is great, though.

what are the settings on your dark frames?

Hopefully someone can help me. Im very new to photoshop! when i create the layer and add an adjustment to it it dose not link into the layer as shown here. I have to manually merge the layer down. Also after creating multiple layers it seems like it only applies the newest layer to the image its not showing all my adjustments. Hopefully this makes sense

@H1HP100

2 жыл бұрын

FYI you can merge layers unlimitedly without losing data. Unlike what you saw from the uploader of this clip, you can simply repeat the process of having 1 or 2 layers with the background layer by merging them (right click after selecting the layers, merge layers). So instead of having a pile of layers, you can just quickly get the process done. Also when you save it make sure to merge visible layers and make it 1 background layer, bc of the file size (samething with saving to lightroom through ps). I hope you understood.

@H1HP100

2 жыл бұрын

Also if you want to make adjustment tabs such as vibrance, press alt+left click inbetween the tab adjustment and the layer. You see an arrow thingy which is called clipping the tabs to the layer. It will only affect the layer you clip it to.

Hi i am just starting astrofotography. I was wandering what deep sky objects are good to begin with? My situation: i have a DSLR (Pentax krop) , a 120-400mm lens and a skywatcher star adventurerer pro. I am still waiting for clear skies (Netherlands) because is raining a lot here. I was thinking about Andromeda but that one is verry low in the sky and its extremely light poluted over here. Can you give some starter tips foir deep sky?

Hi! It's been cloudy here a lot lately as well! You have a similar setup to mine! Andromeda is best in the Fall months! The Orion Nebula is the best beginner object, but you'll have to wait for winter. This summer you could try the Milky Way Core, The Lagoon Nebula, The Eagle Nebula, Rho Ophiuchi, The Veil Nebula, The North America Nebula, and The Pelican Nebula! The first few might be the easiest. I would definitely invest in some light pollution filters and an autoguiding setup before winter gets here! You are going to have a great time in the winter with all the amazing beginner targets! Good luck and clear skies. Feel free to reach out and ask questions any time!

Hi sir, there is something I want to ask in star reduction, I can't do the command H. I'm using a Macbook. what should I do

@deltaastrophotography

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for bringing that to my attention! I believe that's the hide command to hide the marching ants around the stars during star reduction. That's an optional step. Try just skipping it and moving on to the filter/other/minimum part. After you have performed the action press command D to deselect. Or go to the Select menu at the top and choose deselect. Hope this helps!

Thank you for the video. Unfortunately, I find Photoshop to be very confusing and you really have to spend a lot of time trying to learn it. Ultimately, what I want to do is do as many edits in Lightroom that I can and then do only selected editing in Photoshop. It seemed that the only thing you did in Photoshop that I can't do in Lightroom is the star reduction. What else did you do that is not possible in Lightroom. Again, thank you for the video. I really enjoyed it.

@deltaastrophotography

Good question! For basic Milky Way editing, Lightroom is just about all you need. Star reduction is just a nice touch. Photoshop could help with things like removing orange light pollution while keeping the orange colors in the Milky Way. It's when you start getting deeper into astrophotography is when you start needing Photoshop. When you start using a star tracker, you'll have to take separate photos for your foreground and background. You'll need photoshop for that. And when you get into deep sky imaging, there is no way around it. You'll have to use Photoshop to remove gradients from light pollution, selectively edit certain areas, remove the stars so can edit the deep sky target and stars separately, sharpen only certain areas , and many other things. Photoshop is hard, but if you take it slow it will be rewarding.
