Create Star Light Trails with Photoshop!

In this tutorial, we will use Adobe Photoshop to create star trails from a single photo. We are going to use a seldom used "Duplicate Transform" trick to quickly create streaking stars and trails of light that drift across the sky. We will tackle some of the pit falls you may encounter along the way and learn to fix drifting and dragging pixels, streaky lights, objects in the sky, cloning and healing with Photoshop, Content-Aware Fill in Photoshop, as well as some light blending to help pull the entire image together in the end. If you want to learn to create star light trails in Photoshop, this is the tutorial for you!

Thanks for the video. I have other, non-star images that I believe would be fun to work with using this.

Once saw x2 shooting stars of that calibration collide in the night sky while sipping Chandon on the rooftop terrace on my subtropical retreat!!??

This spectacle lite up an area large enough for me to witness the cosmic expanse which is the space that surrounds us!

PS Space was green..

Is there a secret key to add in unidentified faked objects?

Hi. Can you design a logo that includes X and T?
I'd love to see your ideas and follow along!

Your explanation is so fast that we need to slow down the playback
It's so fastㅜㅜ

You sure, that was Halley's comet? That's the one, which appears every 76 years and was last seen in 1986 ;)

Why not just take a picture new instead of this crap ????

Who would want that? It's good to know how to do, but I would never do it
