Really liked how you made this composite look so easy. Awesome tutorial. Thank you!

[@Naztronomy]

Thank you! Glad this was helpful! If you haven't yet checked out my latest video, it's an update to this one where I show a few more complex things: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWjOXmR5mNp5m7M

[@dilipmahore1009]

Lovely ❤👍👏

[@mobbinator]

This video (and the HDR eclipse video) helped transform my photos into absolutely beautiful works of art. Thank you so much!!!

I almost missed out on my spot to take pictures Monday. I thought nobody else would be near this old train trestle and thought it would make a great foreground. I was showing my son-in-law the website for the restoration of the trestle and noticed that they were charging for parking and that all the photographers spots were sold out. I immediately emailed them and they added me to their list so I'm good to go. Hopefully you have clear skies and great shooting. Thanks again for turning me on to SET'N'C

[@Naztronomy]

Ah wow! Glad you were able to get a spot. Hope you enjoy Monday! Clear skies!

[@DavidJones-iq8hp]

THANKS!

[@thilinaalagiyawanna3680]

Thank you

[@ShaunAntle-mh2ps]

ok, so I get to the part where the sun and shadows are selected, but when you go to the top of the screen, I can't see what you clicked and you just say delete... I hit delete and nothing happens?? help lol

[@DeepSpaceAstro]

Great tutorial as always!

[@Naztronomy]

Thank you!

[@ShaunAntle-mh2ps]

ok I finally figured it out how to delete. only question left is if it's not selecting the entire object - how do you feather it out (I believe you called it) in order to make sure the entire object is captured?

[@Naztronomy]

Glad you figured out the delete. Were you selecting another layer? To feather it, if you're using my method of selecting shadows, invert the selection (select>>inverse) then do select >> modify >> expand (I'd recommend expanding a 3-4 pixels to make sure you get everything) and then do select >> modify >> feather (and do another 3-4 pixels of feathering).

[@kenwilcox5418]

Good video. Can you show how to do it with gimp?

[@Naztronomy]

Thanks! I plan to try this in Gimp as well. Along with Krita.

[@brandonpatrick3390]

how can i adjust the size of my fill layer so all of my images will fit? at 800mm my corona image is taking up a third of the image

[@Naztronomy]

The fill layer should automatically fill the entire size of the Canvas. Is that not happening? If you join the Discord server, you can post screenshots and I can try my best to help you there. Also sorry for the delay, I was traveling and didn't see your comment until today.

[@MunroMcLaren]

I can’t delete the second selection.

[@Naztronomy]

Make sure you have the correct layer selected on the layers list. Photoshop won't automatically select it. Sorry for the late response, I was traveling and didn't see your message.

[@ujjwaldatta6713]

Hi! Thanks fo the video tip. Can you kindly help me with how to do the circular pattern like you have? Thanks.

[@Naztronomy]

I plan on redoing this video with my newly acquired 2024 data. I'll make that video a circular pattern.

[@ujjwaldatta6713]

Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Please ping me once that’s ready. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@arindams123]

I am also following to see the circular pattern.

[@Bills_APCh]

I don’t think you need to select the sun in the partial phases as this creates imperfections in the selection.

[@Naztronomy]

That's why I select the shadows. It usually does a great job. This video is just showing an easy way to do this. My second method is to select shadows, invert, and feather out a bit to make it smoother. But I'm hoping to redo this video with new data in 2024 if i get to photography the eclipse.

[@Call_Me_Mom]

Thank you.
