I'm a couple seconds in and giving you a thumbs up. Video starts and explanation starts. Excellent! No silly intro music/effects, no nonsensical babbling about somesuch whatnot - just getting down to business. This is the way it should be done!
Awesome tutorial! I didn’t know you could refine your selection like that, I usually just use the magic wand tool and zoom in really close on smaller objects. This will save so much time and effort on making selections!
Thank you! I know when I found out about refining your selection my mind was kinda blown. I wish I had known about it sooner in my career. It really does save a ton of time
Michael, that was a GREAT tutorial. Man, you did that so easily and so quickly, and darn if it doesn't make a difference. Thanks for the vid, and the wisdom!
When it comes to editing I have trouble adding 2+2. I'm working through your tutorial (and it's going quite well) up to the selection, mask, invert mask. Then it just sort of leaps to import new sky. Am I missing a link here because I'm not making that jump? Appreciate any help you've got for this step.
Thanks for this tip --I used it for a tracked Milkyway image and foreground. I'm not sure if you have other ways around for MW but this was good way around.
Thank you for another excellent tutorial! Well, I was planning to share a Creative Cloud subscription with a friend after University - to make it less expensive of course. Now I found Affinity as a great alternative to Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator. Kinda hard to decide if I want to leave the Adobe world as I worked with Photoshop for almost 8 years now, but the price of Affinity is very attractive. Nevertheless, glad to have found your channel! You just gained a new sub and I will recommend you if I really decide to switch to Affinity :)
All good, until 1:18 when you sorta conjure up a sky from Lord knows where! When I try to open a sky it opens in a totally different layer panel, not in the same one like yours does. And then, like David Copperfield, you magic up more skies from smewhere!! Could you just explain to this 82 year old newbie, how you bring a replacement sky into your project.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it
Thank you, Michael, for a very informative video very clear and precise, and easy to follow.
Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful.
Another wonderful tutorial. I always learn something new watching your videos. Thanks.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying the tutorials.

Very useful. I had to think about how to add the sky ima=ge and found I needed to use "Place". Thanks for this.
You're welcome!

Can't say I have messed around with astrophotography, but I assume the principles would be the same
Another great video!
Thank you!

Thanks, about to try it. Just a little help from you - could you speak a little slower so I don't have to constantly pause to take notes!!! Great
really nice content
Thank you!

How quick was that!
haha from start to finish the whole process takes less than 5 minutes
Rite Michael Dude, No god! What do you mean I'm GOD😁 TFS, GB :)
at 1:16 how did you import image?
Just by dragging and dropping it into the canvas. You could also go up to File>Place and import it that way as well
thank you! I couldn't figure out what you did there@@MichaelSturgill
