Video Tutorials
by Anna Morris for the processing of astrophotos with Adobe Photoshop

 

  • Note: Apologies for any background sounds (ie baby, dogs) in the old videos. I do these when I was home in my spare time and as such my daily household sounds occasionally made an appearance in the videos. In the new videos I am doing them in my home-office so these "extra" sounds should be eliminated. These new videos will hopefully be easier to follow along where the mouse is and better quality.  
     
  • The update of the "old" videos and follow on "new" videos got severely delayed just due to the time it takes and since I do them for free they get moved down the priority list. I do hope to get these up soon and will post on my Facebook page when they are up.
     

Update: October 26, 2012. The replacement of the old videos has begun and should be completed sometime in November. "LRGB image from Channel Files" is a newer version that combines the old version with the same title with another of the "old" videos. The new videos are shot in 720p HD so if you mouse over the video you can select the HD version rather than the SD which might be grainy on some computers.

 

 

New (as of Oct 26):

 

 

 

 


Layer Masks for High Dynamic Range Objects

 

 

Increasing Dynamic Contrast and Reducing Star Size

 

 

Building a Narrowband Image

 

 

Separating your DSO from your stars

 


 


 

 

 

Coming Soon: Creating a Hubble Palette

 

All videos were done on a Mac ... the keyboard shortcuts transfer to Windows as follows: 

MAC – Option/Alt = PC – ALT
MAC – Command/Apple = PC – CTRL/Control

I do these public videos in my spare time in order to help out other astrophotographers as it seems that there is enough of a demand for "free help".
Some take more time than others as you will see if you watch them and I try to make them as I receive requests.
