Man, I'm still brand new to all this, doing afocal with a smart phone but I can't stop watching processing videos and this is the first one that made me giddy with a huge smile when I first realized what you were doing with the masks! When I end up utilizing these methods more often, I am for sure telling people where I got it from! In fact, I can't wait to tell people. Wow.

Holy macaroni. That image is what im dreaming to get. The orion Nebula with the horse head and flame equals outstanding. Just got the new askar sqa 55 so i can get some wide field images like this but your colours are fantastic. Thanks for posting your video.

what is your astrobin user name?

nice editing

What a nice video. 🙂

That's sooo good. The depth in nebula is like of absurd. Looks as good as a good a good shot of terrestrial clouds.

Thats my dad edddd!!!

Incredible image! Those dark skies were really working for you on that one! I can also fully appreciate the time you put into this video.

The image was stellar (pardon the pun), but I really enjoyed the production value here. The soundscape was on point for me.

Absolutely stunning! 🤩

Awesome keep it up dawg

I miss the beard 🧔‍♂️🧔

Awesome storytelling and image as usual. Clear skies

Great shot of an unique subject, well done man!

That was awesome. Good capture!

Totally awesome video. I have learnt SOOO much from it. Thank you and keep up the great work :-)

Beautiful 🤩

Really hoping Ed that the last 2 videos will be just the start of another epic series of productions from you. Greetings from across the pond. CS

Nice shot!

Stunning work, and thought provoking unveil sequence, this is how it's done!

Amazing!

Much better colors than last time,great work sir ! I'd like to see some more vibrance in the nebulas.

Let’s go that is my dad 🎉

great video and great result

Your cat is living the life laying on couches and beds in a warm home. No more freezing, lonely nights in a cold barn. You’re welcome son. We can get you visitation play dates if you’d like 😂. Very beautiful video, minus the cap-napping accusations. 😆😜

Very awesome…. Your mom says the cat is happy!

Can you help me figure out how to unzip these into the proper folder? I can’t seem to find the right one that makes it appear in my curves presets!

Awesome to see a video of yours! Hope you’re well. Clear skies

It was like a painting of a horse head. Amazing and beautiful!❤

I like the starless image, it really highlights all the gases in space.

Nice to see again, great vid!

Good to see you on the channel again. All the best to you and fam.

Beautiful!!! Glad you’re back!!!

Very nice!

Excellent excellent for the part of the stars I didn’t like them too much the same as the nebula should be blue white and yellow. I don’t see many videos explaining how to fix stars

I have a question…I apply your method to my recent Milky Way photo and it brings up a lot of noise…the imagine have already a lot of light pollution thanks to the places where a I based and if I tried to reduce the light pollution with the dust tool in photoshop and then apply your method it’s brings up a lot of noise…then I tried to not reduce the ight pollution and apply this method but the part of the Milky Way near the horizon comes out to bright…probably I made some mistakes…do you know what I can try? Thanks

I wish I could get even a tenth of that kind of nebulosity from the stretch. It bleaches everything out so fast. I have a cannon eos R8, which is supposed to be a pretty good camera and it's still just so hard to get that red.

Everyone clearly is getting great results. I'm getting a polarized mess every time and with every zoom option. I'm using subscription P.s and its all up to date. I know I have every layer set right and blend modes correct, just cant figure out whats going on. Your tutorial is easy to follow. Thanks

Dang, your video is so helpful! Thanks for your efforts!

This is by far one of the best image processing tutorials I've ever seen. Excellent presentation with a balanced mix of theory and application in a clear logical way. Thank you for sharing your methods.

Thank you for the video! I tried to apply this method on my 1.5h integration of Heart and Soul in Bortle 4-5 sky on 135mm astromodified DSLR with moderate twilight pollution. ArcSinh probably (not sure yet) does a better job at stretching (final result visually looks slightly beter), comparing to simple black and midpoint Levels adjustment. However, the actual introduction of Grey Multiply and Divide method made the final image much worse. The colors look desaturated, and almost like washed out into the grey. I am not sure if this method is just more scientifically correct (more realistic color rendering), while visually less appealing??? Or is my data just not good enough for this method to show its potential? Note that my original stack shows substantial color cast and gradient due to twiligh pollution. Do I need to remove the color cast and gradient first, before applying the grey×÷ method? UPD: Tried this method AFTER removing the background. The result is the same - the image looks bleak, almost colorless, way less vivid and appealing than if no grey×÷ was used. Whats going on?

Would love to see a tutorial on the best way of doing Globulars !

Dear friend, thank you for sharing this. Could it be that in the third Arsin arc 10 I already have more swelling of stars and more saturated around them? I have tried several times and I cannot get the stars to remain unchanged with the initial image

Thank you for the obvious effort you have put into making this comprehensive series on narrowband processing. Like others here, I'm not an expert nor a beginner, but you've definitely helped me over a hump that moves my needle in the right direction. Very creative/unique approach that has the side benefit of understanding more advanced use of Photoshop's capabilities.

Your PS processing videos are among the best (if not THE best) I've seen and/or studied. Workflow that makes sense. Very clear, at an excellent pace, explained as to the why, not simply the how. You are an excellent teacher, and very kind to share your knowledge and experience. Well done, thank you very much for the boost in confidence and the incentive to revisit ALL of my images.

Excellent tutorial that I applied to one of my images. A natural Non-Pixel Math way that is much more simple. I will definitely notate you when I post the image.

Bro you're an amazing artist. Excellent tips. I knew of the rgb method but the second one rocks! I will give a shootout to your channel once I complete my photos. I assume this works best only for nebulae not for galaxies star clusters etc. Cheers!
