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.
I am just starting with developing my first milkyway photos. Your video is exceptionally good. Thank you for your explanation. The different steps are very well explained.
Wow first time using Photoshop for me and you made it look so easy. I have a tone of notes so hopefully with practice my light polluted milky way cores will start to pop. Thanks so much for an easy to follow along tutorial. Very much appreciated
Thanks so much for this tutorial! I've been looking for a MW tutorial and my friend sent me a link to this one. I love how you take your time between steps, so that I can follow along. Appreciate this so much!
Thanks so much for sharing this! I learned so much! I've been doing milky way astro for a while now and there's so much to learn with using Photoshop for editing.
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!!!
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 👍🏻
This is by far the best MW editing tutorial I've seen, and I have seen a lot of those! Step by step, no rushing, easy to follow. This made me finally sit and start working on my photos. The only problem I have is blending, my foregrounds are usually pitch black and in order to make the photo more interesting I will have to blend in a blue hour shot - any chance you could make a video on that? 🙂
Awesome. I am trying to learn to improve my astro/ milky way processing. This seems to very easy to follow and effective. i can actually see myself using the information presented here. Thank YOU
Great vid man! Have really been struggling to process milky way photos in PS recently, especially dealing with light pollution in the horizon. Cant wait to try your workflow!
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!
@@deltaastrophotography True! I have tried doing that and blending them back in PS..But still there's this annoying yellowish color wash over the horizon. Can't beat taking photos in truly dark skies I guess!
I like your video. FYI… the stretching of the stars at the outside of your image is called coma. If you stop down about 2 stops or more, you can eliminate all or most of it.
Brilliant Video >> At 70 I have just started Milky Way so I will follow this Video as if it is a ONE shot image >> stacking will come later..Little steps Lol at my age
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!!!
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
I had a few goes and despite having an identical camera (FTX adaptor and 20mm Nikon lens) and settings and the results weren’t great. Hard to believe the results you achieved before editing. Anyway I had better results with the Alyn Wallace work flow and brushes.
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?
Finally, someone using the most recent version of PS. Now i have only been using PS for a month and have been using LR - hit and miss with my set of Astro. Stacking 60 shots - tell me how. I will play with mine tomorrow. Left the lens open too long at ISO 6400. Way too many stars. Heading out in two days 8/5/24 to shot with my new Canon 24mm, f1.8. I will be back to follow along with those shots. Thanks for the lesson.
Thanks so much for this wonderful tutorial. I had fantastic raw data but I could not process it . You can't believe how my image has turned out to be . I followed each step you gave. Thabks very much
I'm so glad I could help! Please check out my newest Milky Way tutorial! I'll be doing a new one every summer! ruclips.net/video/Z4D9R0S-iOQ/видео.html
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
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.
Thanks... This was a great tutorial. I'm looking for tips in how to process images taken using light pollution filters. I recently acquired an Optolong L-pro filter and I am looking into how to process the images. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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?
So, I am a bit confused about a step.... On the last video (How to photograph and edit the Milky Way for Beginners) you stated that the step for making a copy (a new layer) was "Control, Alt, Shift and E" all at the same time. But on this video, to make a copy (new Layer) you did "Control J". This is easier to do than the "Control, Alt, etc...." but why the change in how you made the new layer? What was different? See, I'm paying attention trying to learn this processing headache! LOL
Control J just makes a copy of the top layer. Control/Alt/Shift/E takes all the layers and combines them to make a new layer on top. You'll need to use Ctrl/Alt/Shift/E once you start making layer masks. To make it simple, use Ctrl J to copy your first layer, then use the other after that.
I just ordered a green laser pointer to help with things like that! I'm also like $200 away from being able to afford a Skywatcher EQ6 R Pro mount. Things are going to happen this year!!
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??
Hi how are you? I have a nikon d3500 (a camera for beginners) and my question is: how much do I get for a full frame? (a nikon d780, for example) PS. I use a wide angle lens, AF-S Nikkor 20mm 1.8
Hey man hello. Thanks for the video. How do we uncover the Rho Ophiuchi section in the Milky Way photo by processing and painting? Can you tell me about it?
Quick question, and I apologize in advance if it has already been answered. In the first video you did some light editing. Does this video start with that edited image or the image straight out of Sequator?
thank u brother just work with me and the people who not found the crack when u guys extract the files there is one tool will show up use it for many things + activation

Really glad I could help!! Clear skies!
Extraordinary. Thanks Walt.
I am learning a lot from you. I am new to Astrophotography and Photoshop. You give great tips for both. Thank you!
Tried a few walk through videos but always come back to this one for my Milky Way editing. Absolutely brilliant.
I am facing same problem
I've been using Photoshop for years, but this showed me some methods I haven't used before. Another great, well explained tutorial. Thanks champ 👍
i like the way you explain, relaxed and calm. Love it!
WOW, I leaned quite a lot tonight. Thank you for the lessons.
No problem!
Thank you so much! probably the best milky way that I have edited thanks to you!
Thanks alot for the guide this was exactly what i was looking for!
The best one till now. Will definitely give it a try. ❤️
Thanks thanks thanks.... I used your tutorial and finally, my Milky Way is beautiful. Thanks ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great tutorial fair play, much better than a lot I’ve watched, you seem to be on our level
Well done 👏

Brilliant Video >> At 70 I have just started Milky Way so I will follow this Video as if it is a ONE shot image >> stacking will come later..Little steps Lol at my age
I typically import the file in LR first and use lens correction to fix the vignetting and distortion for wide angle lens before moving to PS.
I do the same thing.
Great work man 👏 Will be referring back to this for sure
