Programs

Luminar, Photoshop, Capture One Pro. Starry Landscape Stacker, DxO Pure Raw

Quantity

10 videos and nearly 2hrs of instruction. RAW files included!

SINGLE EXPOSURES

Often we either don't have the time or we were not aware of how to stack photos to reduce noise, so we only have a single exposure of the Milky Way. Follow along with me as I take this single-exposure photo and post-process it using DxO PureRAW and Lightroom.

Before & After

STACKED PHOTOS

To help reduce noise we often stack our Milky Way photos, and in this lesson you can follow along with the downloadable RAW files to stack 21 shots.

I'll show you how to prep the photos for stacking in Capture One Pro (while explaining any differences for Lightroom users), then we will stack the photos in Starry Landscape Stacker and do more enhancements in Photoshop and Luminar.

Before & After

BLENDING DIFFERENT EXPOSURES

Done the right way, blending exposures can help bring more detail to your foreground while also creating a natural-looking photo. In this lesson I'll show you how I do it using Photoshop and a free luminosity plugin to create an accurate and detailed mask.
