Excellent tutorial! I had on my hard drive a couple of photos that I took a few years ago, and I had not been able to process them due to my lack of knowledge using Photoshop. But now, with this video, I was able to get a decent result, for someone who doesn't know s**t about this. Thank you so much!
OMG I can't wait to try this approach. I have been trying to process this galaxy for a couple of weeks. Your approach and explanation is by far the best approach I have seen. Thank you.
oh my god, you have just saved my day. every time I convert to 16 bit, when HDR comes up I had no idea what to do! Now I know Thank you sooooooo much x
I'm just getting into astrophotography and look forward to putting your excellent tutorial to work. Very straight forward and easy to follow and understand! Thank You!
With your video, I am able to understand the WHY'S along with what I can do to a picture of the galaxy. Thank you so much for this video and I hope you will do more.
Thank you so much for posting this video tutorial. I captured 2hrs worth of Andromeda data the other night and your workflow has helped me make the very best of the image. Brilliant!
Honestly I didn't use PS which I founded complicated and artificial and kept all my stacked photos neutral.. Thank you indeed for this clear and useful tuto.
Sorry I followed your tuto till step 2:30 min but PS tell me "impossible to execute level command because active layer (layer1) is empty " how can i continue ? I repeated many times from the beginning but can't advance Thanks
Great video, thank you for sharing. I’m going to give this a go with the data I have from a few months back. Although I feel like I need to get more data of this part of the night sky.
I usually just create a new layer each time I want to change something, even if it is the same thing! I create them using a keyboard shortcut for my windows computer.
This video here might help! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OPNHn4r4gR8.html&t Let me know if it doesn't and I can explain in further detail.
@@peculiargalexy, had to go back and watch again to remember why I was asking....have you tried stacking and then processing a good deal of the image in linear mode by using SiriL ? It will give you an Auto-stretched visual, but you can do background extraction, photometric color, remove green noise and some others in linear mode, then you can stretch and put it in PS. Just wondering, I plan to keep watching I like the no nonsense directness of your video.
@@curlingdan I have only ever used DSS when stacking. This image was not mine, but a friend’s that I used for the tutorial! I have not tried using any other programs yet simply because I don’t know how and learning to use them isn’t the easiest. But that is definitely something I’d like to look into and check out! Eventually I hope to be able to provide tutorials for any type of program and how to use it best!
I have Ps, and Lr. I can load my stacked photo, but I don't see the gadgets, gizmos and sliders like on you tutorials so can't fallow your workflow. I’m stuck - are there tabs or plug-ins or something I’m missing to get started?
Yes, they definitely can! They might not need the colorization, but the steps outlined here are what I use for all of my images regardless of professional or amateur data.
So funny story. When I was taught I always thought the person was saying N+E. Turns out they were saying AND E. So the actual shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E (for Windows). This creates a new flattened layer while leaving all of the other layers intact. I am not sure the nuances of what that means and does for the image. But essentially it’s a flattened duplicate layer! Hope that helps!
