Astro Editing Techniques You're Probably Not Using

In this tutorial video, I will show you three workflows you can use to edit your Milky Way photos to bring out their full beauty! Whether you're a beginner or a fully sleep-deprived astrophotographer (advanced), you'll learn techniques that will take your astrophotography to the next level. We'll cover everything from basic adjustments for single exposures to advanced processing techniques borrowed from *real* astrophotography that aren't often used for Milky Way processing. By the end of this video, you'll have the skills and knowledge to create beautiful Milky Way photos!

Super helpful! I've been shooting Milky Way images for four years now, processing with Sequator and Lightroom and Photoshop. This really inspires me to take the next step. I think I need to watch it four or five more times, taking notes.... 🙂

A find a balance between image 1 and 2 is a much more tasteful edit than the crunchy over sat edit of image 2 by itself.

Amazing content and clarity, you do great in making this look easy for anyone! Keep it up!!

[MarcelloQuieti]

I watched a ton of astrophotography tutorials and this is by far the best one. I had never heard of some of the tools discussed here. It would be awesome if you could make a more detailed video on the full astrophotographer approach.

Thanks so much for watching my video! In some of the more advanced parts I will admit I had to skim over entire processes for the sake of time - if there are any parts you'd be interested in learning more about, please let me know here! I hope you learned something new from this video, whether you're just starting out or have been doing this for a while. Happy (Milky Way) hunting!

Great video! Very informative. Would love a shooting tutorial of the Milkway and of your day to night time-lapses!

[photoworldcreations]

Excellent video, one of the best on skyscape astrophotography. Would love to see more!

[soumLimpaChao]

Yes my dude, glad to see you making these videos. Keep it up!

This was an awesome tutorial, I'm an experienced photographer but I picked up a few interesting tips. Thanks mate!
P.s this video deserves a lot more than 9k views!

This is by far the most simple and easy to follow tutorial with the best results I've seen on Youtube for astro photography. Thanks! I just did a re-edit of some of my older photos and like them way more than previous edits.

[jaycechan]

I must say this is one of the most helpful guides on editing Milky Way with Lightroom and Photoshop on youtube that I have ever seen! Good work and thank you so much!

[peterpiksa]

I am just completely blown away about how good you are at this. 😮

[tannerbjorlie]

This is a pleasure to watch. Easy to learn from, well done man!

[therobodoctor]

Nicely laid out my friend super useful!

[cherryjunphotography]

Thank you so much for sharing your acknowledges! This tutorial video really helps me get to next level of amatuer beginner astrophotographer! Thanks again 😊⭐

[ConstantinSPurcea]

Personally I don’t like the overdone one. Looks impressive for a second but then it wears off. The first one is more “accurate”

[somniumwed]

I've never seen a video as good as this one! I love it! Thanks so much for sharing, it's well worth a subscription.

[joshhaas]

An excellent run-through. Also the most clear, quickest explanation of hot pixels and how calibration frames are used to remove them. Thanks for this.

[rhysjones]

amazing how clear and simple you make the editing seem! i often take astro images but get confused, bored and annoyed with the editing. this helped massively! thank you
