How i edit my Deep-Sky Images | Astrophotography Tutorial

Welcome back people!

As some of you requested, i did a small and basic tutorial; how i edit my images.


My usual workflow, as previewed in the video:
Stack the image in DSS or APP. Then, editing in Photoshop:

Stage 1: Streching

-Crop the edges
-Convert to 16bit
-Set black and white points
-Levels - Curves - Levels - Curves, until the object is bright enough

Stage 2: Enhancing the DSO:

-Action: EDSO
-Action: Noise reduction
-Selective curve strech
-Action: Stars smaller
-Manual Stars smaller
-Selective Color boost
-Selective Sharpening

Stage 3:

-Removing Halos

-Removing defects
-Background color adjustment
-Orientation/Crop/Brightness
-Maybe a photo filter

Do you want to practice Deep Sky editing, but you lack the actual imaging data? I am sharing my imaging data over on my Patreon page.
My Patreon supporters will recieve this data, aswell as some more in-depth tutorials an insights of my work. As to this date (5th of September 2019), this idea is still very young, and i'm still trying to find a good path.
