Austin, this is one thing I don't know how to do.... when you're editing groups of photos and then need to bring in to edit more, are you bringing them back into this same working file, or saving this back to LR, and then have say 5 files as layers, use the lighten mode again, and then save that as the final? I've wondered how YT peeps were doing it when they say to edit small numbers. TY... finally subbed today too.

[@AustinJamesJackson]

If you do small numbers, you can either save back to LR or just drag and drop the files as you go in Photoshop!

This was so amazing! And now I'm a new subscriber! This totally worked! Oh my goodness it was so cool and you made the process so much easier.! I had a question though. And maybe this is a Photoshop question or something. When you had all the photographs newly stacked in Photoshop, why did you say not to select the last one? Also on that, when I make more stacks to compile together for the final photograph, do I need to leave the bottom of each one of those stacks unedited like that?

[@AustinJamesJackson]

You leave the bottom layer because you don’t want to change the blend mode of every layer or they will have nothing to blend into. The bottom layer is basically the “base” layer that everything else is blending in to.

I want to try this so bad, New to photography tho, just downloaded Lightroom classic so still learning everything. Will an 18-55 kit lens be wide enough to capture a great start trail? I have bought the intervalameter and can’t wait get a great star trail picture. Thank you for the video

[@AustinJamesJackson]

Yeah, you should be able to make it happen with that lens!

[@FourKnown]

Or you could just use live view composite on a Lumix S5iiX and save yourself all the editing. Oh and you only take one image and one exposed for the foreground if needed. I've just done two so far but love the results!

[@AustinJamesJackson]

Sounds like a great feature!

[@jeanettegarcia6937]

What camera are you using? And which 14mm lens?

[@AustinJamesJackson]

Sony a7r4 with the Rokinon 14mm f2.8.

Hi Bro, i'm a photography enthusiast and an explorer who love to capture moments in hi mobile now . But now Iwant to buy a camera this year 2024. Bro i need your opinion which camera will be best for me in budget as my budget is very tight 70 80k INR🇮🇳 . So could you please help me which camera will be good for me in terms of photography as i like to capture- Portraits,Macro, nature, mainly landscape and wildlife too. And for videography too which can do both great but in my budget. And please recommend the first lens that should i buy should i go with the kit lens or should i save money and instead of your recommended lense i should buy? please suggest me a budgetfriendly good lens which can help me to cover my some aspects in photography. And suggest me for afterwards too so i could save money and add them too in my collection. Mainly i need a hybrid kinda camera so acoording to you what should i go with the kit lens with body or buy only body and buy a good lens (need your help in this). I love your content as every bit of your content is worth watching🎉. Love from 🇮🇳

[@AustinJamesJackson]

I'm not sure how much it costs where you're from, but the Sony a6600 is a solid starter camera, and then get something like the Tamron 28-200 to go with it!
