Hey, welcome on my channel, Im Alan and this is 1st episode of
new series which is processing astrophotography in PS
Ive prepared a list " things to do " hopefully i didnt forget anything
If necessary then i will add a short clip after a video
about things which are worth to do
And now let it begin.
Okey lets start from the beginning
i mean curves, levels and masks
Curves are basic step in extension of material
At the beginning, we have nothing at all less stars
Click Ctrl+M and push this line up. This will extend your material.
If you aren't beginnier then just go to next video or check out " To do list " at the end.
Dont take curves too high because you will burn your picture.
Your histogram has to be in half of possible place ( in the square )
That means that your photo is already extended.
Do it multiple times. ( curves )
Im not going to process image, just show you steps which you should do.
I decide so because, YT changes colors and quality a lot so thats non-sense.
Plus it would took me 2h to process all image
And we havent that much time...
I ve just changed levels. Levels are secound basic step if you are already done with curves.
Can you see this black cursor ? Dont let it get too close to histogram.
It will cut your material
Levels also let you control color of image.
Now, new layer
Masks are quite complicated on the beginning.
Its funcion is to hide or show something what you did on last layer
if you pick " show all " then your brush has to be black.
if you use brush on " show all " then its going delete last action
if you use brush on "hid all" then its going te show you last action
you can watch this action now. :)
after all click right mouse button and click accept mask
Then Merge layer, otherwise you will still operate on mask
Feel free to comment, and hit likes if i helped. See you guys next time!
