Wow. Thank you for this tutorial! I'm currently going through my photos from the year and I'm editing my photos from that same event!

[@AustinJamesJackson]

Awesome! Good luck editing your image!

Just discovered your channel when searching for some more tips editing Aurora. Ended up subscribing as well as you have a good teaching style. I'm no newbie, but always looking to improve. Thanks for sharing this and looking forward to seeing more!

[@AustinJamesJackson]

Awesome, thank you!

Hi, thanks for this great tutorial. One very stupid question...after all the edits, how do you save the final image. I know how silly I sound...but still can't seem to get to the final step, especially when using the masking function. Thanks

[@AustinJamesJackson]

Lightroom automatically saves as you go along. No need to do anything special to save it!

Thanks Austin! Nice to see your workflow!! I learned a bit 😀 Why didn’t you use the standard vignette option? I know it’s not as adjustable as a mask but would it make a big difference? About the end result. For me it’s a bit over done and I like to see a bit of details in the foreground. Which seems to be a beautiful spot when you brightened it briefly. For me it’s more complete… But hey… you did actress job and how we edit is all personal 👍

[@AustinJamesJackson]

I always like to make custom vignettes. Thanks for the feedback!

[@martinsarre]

Great tips thanks. I like to increase the dehazing slider on my aurora photos to make the sky pop

[@AustinJamesJackson]

That's a great idea!

[@bcunic]

Fantastic Video! Thank you!!

[@AustinJamesJackson]

Glad you liked it!

[@jupiterripple720]

would this work with a weaker aurora? i didn't manage to catch the may one, but i did catch a weaker one from my back garden a few nights ago DX

[@AustinJamesJackson]

Yeah, you can still follow the same guidelines!

here after it happened again last night ha

[@Davids_Leos]

Is it possible to brighten up an almost completely pinch black Aurora picture? And blurriness?

[@AustinJamesJackson]

Definitely!

[@Davids_Leos]

@@AustinJamesJackson and how do you do it because if I try editing it will turn like a lot of blurriness/bright

[@iamionscat9035]

Liked and subscribed and the bell. Thank you for your posting this. If you were to suggest only 2-3 steps for someone who needs to use GIMP or darktable (zero way I can afford Adobe) what would you suggest? Minimal edits only, like top 2-3 things. I'm also completely new to this. Seriously I can rotate, crop and add text. That's about the extent of my skill.

[@AustinJamesJackson]

I have never used either of those programs, so I'm not sure what they are capable of. Sorry about that!
