Alternatively you can choose image>canvas size and change the width. Rather than the crop tool. Written steps for this tutorial here: photoshopcafe.com/how-to-create-an-eclipse-sequence-in-photoshop-complete-guide/
Thanks, Colin. This is just exactly what I needed to get the spacing organized in a very straightforward manner with guides and rulers, which I don't use often enough to remember the tricks you showed.
Excellent and quick workflow for Solar Eclipse 4-8-2024! I chose a wider canvas, created a diagonal of images UL to LR with 99% totality in the middle, pattern was trajectory of the sun through the afternoon sky. Added a text layer for labeling. Final image effect was truly beautiful. A wonderful day to experience and remember! TY for this tutorial, Colin.
Thanks Colin. I'll try it on the next eclipse in the UK! Meanwhile, the use of guides to set it up will get used elsewhere in my image compositions - really helpful tip!
👍🏻 Thanks for this tutorial. I will use the technique described (in a similar way) to map the lateral surface of a body rotating in front of the camera onto a flat plane. Let's see if it works. A creative stimulus. ☀️
I know I'm missing something, after you use the rectangle tool to figure out your spacing, how do you get rid of it. All I have is marching ants around my eclipse, no matter what I do it stays there.
Thanks Colin! This is fantastic! I did something similar with a lunar eclipse but didn't get the guides set as well as you did in this tutorial. I'm going to follow this exactly. I'm about 150 or so miles from the path of totality but will get 97.6% obscuration where I'm at according to the path map on Time and Date site. The weather people are giving 40% chance of thunderstorms for the 8'th, but in East Texas that's not assured until that day LOL. I just hope I have clear enough skies to get some good pictures. I have my solar filter for my 300mm lens and I'm ready for it!
Thanks Colin. This is just what I was looking for, though lot of math for me, I will learn it and try to use the guidance you gave. That is if we get to see the eclipse. Thanks a lot.
The tutorial was quite helpful. However, since the image with totality was taken without the camera filter, it doesn't blend with the adjacent images that were taken with a filter. Can you explain this process so the sequence looks seamless?
Love this tutorial! Thank you! I have a question, though! How do I change the size of certain layers after I’ve already organized them following your steps. I want to make the totality layer much larger than the rest. Thanks again.
Nice! Do you have a tutorial on how to do it at an angle or in a curve, for us noobs? Also, if we have a photo of the sky we want to overlay these on, how do you do that? Thank you!
I didn't make one on a curve, but you could use the pen tool to draw a curve, Put the sky at the bottom in place of the black layer, make sure the sky is dark or it won't work as well.
@@photoshopcafe my images contain various stages of the sun/moon with a black sky as do yours throughout the video. Sorry, I'm confused how to separate them even after attempting blending.
Great video! I'm tying to make this fix a 11x14 print but having a hard time with it. The images get cut out even when I size it in photoshop to 11x14. What am I missing? Thank you!
@@photoshopcafe, I did that, but when I draw the rectangle, I can't get the rectangle box to disappear. All I get is the Generative Fill box underneath the rectangle box. Thank you for answering my question.
Thanks Colin. I suppose that with such high focal length it is not possible to frame something on the foreground. So, between using a wide angle lens OR doing a composite adding a foreground to a panorama similar to yours, what do you think would be the best choice? Thank you!
Colin, could you have a look at Content Aware Fill with Additional Image please? It's in 25.7 beta at the moment, and I did not know about it till reading through the Beta Feedback panel. So far I have not been able to get the additional image to interact with the original image, and it crashes Photoshop on my one year old i9 13900K, RTX4080 system every time I click on OK. If anyone can make it work, then it's going to be you and Jesus Rameriz (who I have not asked so far). Thanks.
Hi, apologies if this is in another video. Im adjusted my top eclipse photos in lightroom, ive got a nice sized album of about 35. Whats the best way to get them from lightroom with the edits into photoshop. I have lightroom and photoshop for another month.
These are great tips for the eclipse. The scariest part for me is seeing all these US states declare a state of emergency before it arrives. Strange times.

Awesome Colin. I will try this with my Eclipse pics that I will take tomorrow
Sir, you are very helpful, every time I watch your video I learn something new, and you explain it so well and simply. Thank you
What perfect timing for such an awesome tutorial! Thank you so much. It is exactly what I am looking for!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for putting this together. It was clear an easy to understand. I was able to put my photos together today.
awesome!
Thanks! The tips on use of guides were new to me!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent explanation! Thanks
Terrific explanation.
Thanks
Thank you Colin!
My pleasure!

Awesome and simple video.. do you have a tutorial on how to match the colors on the sub as different exposure times come out different colors? Thanks.
Use either color curves, or Camera Raw to match the colors.
Hi!! Thanks for your video. Do you have one that would align them in a circle or some other creative design please? Thanks.
The tutorial was quite helpful.
However, since the image with totality was taken without the camera filter, it doesn't blend with the adjacent images that were taken with a filter.

Love this tutorial! Thank you! I have a question, though! How do I change the size of certain layers after I’ve already organized them following your steps. I want to make the totality layer much larger than the rest. Thanks again.
Select the layer and press Ctrt+T for free transform. Drag on the handles to resize
Assuming you used a solar filter, what aperture and shutter speed did you use to make these images? Thanks very much.
Mine were in the f8 1/125- 1/250 range I believe. At about ISO 800
Thanks very much Colin. Have enjoyed and learned from you for some time now…much appreciated!
@@CliffCassidy You are welcome, and I used a Seymor Solar, filter
@@photoshopcafeme too Colin. Seymour must be very happy with the number of filters they shipped over the past few weeks.
@@CliffCassidy I would imagine a lot!

Put the sky at the bottom in place of the black layer, make sure the sky is dark or it won't work as well.
I wish you can do a Sequence on my phone
Terrific video! How do you remove black (sky) backgrounds in order to place the sequence over another sky. Thx.
You don’t need to, that’s what the blend mode step does in the tutorial
@@photoshopcafe my images contain various stages of the sun/moon with a black sky as do yours throughout the video. Sorry, I'm confused how to separate them even after attempting blending.
Thanks Colin for wonderful video..
Please can you tell me which filter you used for shooting solar eclipse?
Nagesh, India
Seymour solar
Do it with phone plz
Looks great except I can't get my smart objects to move. I've tried everything. What am I missing?
Make sure you are choosing the correct layer with the move tool
@@photoshopcafe I figured it out. Thanks
Great video! I'm tying to make this fix a 11x14 print but having a hard time with it. The images get cut out even when I size it in photoshop to 11x14. What am I missing? Thank you!
Not sure what you mean “cut out”
I used a black filter so my sun is white but I like your orange one. How do I get it to look orange?
my Seymour solar filters make it orange in camera. You can easily change it with hue/saturation. I have quite a few "colorizing" tuts on this channel
My scale turned into percents and I can't figure how to make it pixels ugh
How can you adapt this to an elipse curve to it....and then place into a wide angle shot?
Just position in an arc
@4:13 how did you get that black box to come up with all the pictures inside of it?
By importing the pictures and changing the blend mode like the first part of the video
@@photoshopcafe, I did that, but when I draw the rectangle, I can't get the rectangle box to disappear. All I get is the Generative Fill box underneath the rectangle box. Thank you for answering my question.

You can do both, you can see one I composited with a foreground at the intro of this video
@@photoshopcafe Oh yes! Nice composite. Thank you, Colin.
@@photonsonpixels Thanks

These are great tips for the eclipse. The scariest part for me is seeing all these US states declare a state of emergency before it arrives. Strange times.
That’s just to release funding for crowd control, nothing to be alarmed about. :)
