- In this video I show how to process a Milky Way nightscape in Photoshop alone. No other software or additional plugins. I cover AI noise reduction, basic edits, and blending a foreground with a tracked sky.

Brilliant Video I can now proceed carefully with instead of taking 1 image I can now take a Pic of Foreground I can go to take a Milky Way and then Merge >> I have the Equipment >> Z8 and Nikon 20mm f1.8 S but at 73 Computers scare me .. but this Video gives me confidence>> from South Africa
Thanks Walt. Watching your videos is helping pass time as i lay in this stupid hospital
Thank you, out standing vid, many thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Awesome video, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! Again I learned new tricks which will help me process my nightscape images:)
Thanks for sharing your expert knowledge Walt. I have been curious about using LRC Denoise for Milky Way. Can denoise substitute for stacking say 10 Milky Way images for noise reduction? I use the same method you did in the video for star reduction and like it.
Really love the no bs, only meat and potatoes in this video. Tons of valuable info here delivered in 18 minutes. Thank you!
Dude, you are a gem! Best tutorial videos regarding astrophotography.
Thank you! Glad you got something from it!
Walt I've learned a lot from your videos. Question. When I do a panorama PTguy and do the StarXteminator . My image has blotches specialy in the uper part. What Can I do? Many thanks
Great job. Clear,concise and to the point. I have watched a lot of other tutorials and often people rush through steps and it takes multiple replays to see where the mouse clicks are.
Hey Walt, hope you’re feeling better real soon and getting back at it. Just wanted to let you know shot my first Milky Way last night. Never really thought about Astro photography until I stumbled across your channel a couple months ago. Having recently retired I gifted myself a new R6 and the Rokinon 24 mm f1.4 thanks to your inspiration. I’m really excited to get back out there and get some more.
Great video mate!
A question, when you combined the two images, it appears that a lot of stars around Milky Way gone purple/pink again and a lot more of them like before the reduction, do you reckon?
Great video, thankyou 🎉 Do you prefer PS to Lightroom for this job? Regards, Cam
Great video as usual. It would be really interesting to see something similar but applied to a more complex foreground, such as a series of tree silhouettes that usually drive me crazy.Ciao ciao.
absolutely wonderful video! Great tip on using the "sky replacement tool" in photoshop. I have no idea when I never thought to do that! super looking forward to getting out soon to shoot! Cheers
Hey Walt.
Great video.
Question..... Do you ever run into snakes?
All...the....time! Especially in the fall when it starts to cool down and they move too slow to get out of the road before I walk up on them.
Great video Walt! A great way of combining things. Looks fantastic!!!
Great video that I will use in the future! Thanks for sharing this 👌
Can’t wait to use these techniques later this summer 🤙🏼
🎉great job,….thank you very much 😊
do you/ have you used GIMP ?
Nice video, informative. Have you ever thought about using Siril and Affinity for processing, instead of pay for software. Just asking from a cheap beginner perspective.
If I didn't have PixInsight, Siril would be my go-to for deep sky processing. It's really great software. As far as a Photoshop alternative, I haven't really tried much. For every one GIMP or Affinity astro tutorial on RUclips there are probably 100 Photoshop tutorials. And the same goes for plug-ins. There are so many great plug-ins out there for Photoshop. The $10 a month kinda sucks, but I have friends that spend that daily on coffee. Photoshop is WAY cheaper than that!
Great. Its Photoshop 2022?
Awesome video as always !
And another question, do you think using a selection tool instead dodge/burn (white/black) would have been easier to merge two images together or more complicated?
What's your experience?
It really depends. On an image like this where the sky and foreground were taken at dark site at about the same time, it would be easier to just make a selection and turn it into a mask. But when shooting the foreground at blue hour or when the moon is out, the sky replacement tool really helps with balancing colors. I should probably make a video showing all the different ways you can blend. There's no right or wrong way to do it as long as it turns out looking good.
Would make an awesome video Walt, three different ways to blend ground/sky…pros cons.
In the method used here… I find using overlay to make white/white good,I burn shadows to make blacks black😊
Great video Walt. Nice to learn about the sky replacement tool and fine tuning masks using 'overlay' blend - very useful. The PS AI denoise function is very good and will probably discourage me from taking too many single exposures!!!
Thanks Walt, excellent continuation video from the previous video, I really enjoyed this Milky Way editing class. Thanks Walt and continuation of Clear Skies
Nice video, way too cool.
Thank you Walt, I was having trouble with some of my sky replacement, this has really helped. Thank you again for an awesome tutorial.
Thanks for this video! It’s the best tutorial that I’ve found on Milky Way photography editing.
👍🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
Nice.
Such videos are a treasure for my personal development in Astro, thank you
Thanks Walt - great tutorial without using the extra add-on software - this is ideal
Awesome video!
Thank you!
