@@BAlessio91 😂 Long time ago that vid - seems like yesterday! 😊

Thanks for that 😊 👍 Long time ago now! 😊

@@namregd just seeing if it works same way in current version and if i need to use your solution. Ty again

That's good to know! 😁 Thanks for that 👍

😁 Doesn't actually feel like yesterday, but I know what you mean! I don't do an awful lot of astro these days so I'm not hugely familiar with the latest version of DSS so can't help you there I'm afraid. Might be worth checking yourself - I'd be interested to know 😊

Hi Chris. Can't remember! Give me time to look through the full vid to refresh my memory and I'll come back to you 😊

Hi Chris. You'll have to tell me where in the video I first use the tool you're referring to - it seems to me all the tools I'm using in this vid are fairly standard. I was using Photoshop CS5 in this vid, which I don't use now (I don't do much astro these days anyway) but I have Adobe Creative Cloud on my machine so that will include the latest version of Photoshop

But I don't have an accent 😁

@@namregd that what u think

You're welcome 😊

Thanks Mike 😁 I'm a bit long in the tooth now mate, I hardly get out there now. These old bones feel the cold 😁

@@namregd I completely understand. Maybe you could do some remote telescope astrophotography? Take care!

😁 Still alive at least!

@@namregd Doug, have you thought about writing an e-book with your astrophotography knowledge and processing. Could earn you a bit of money perhaps.

Thanks Olly 😊

De nada 😁

Thanks very much. Not so much this one, which was out of date shortly after it was published 😁

Indeed it does 😊 I use CS now on the rare occasions I get to do astro stuff 😁

Glad it helped 😊👍

Thank you very much Nick 😊 Glad you've found it useful 👍

Ctrl I is to invert. Copy is Ctrl C 😊

@@namregd I know my dear Doug...but check what you spoke at 5.00 time....ctrl I and then ctrl C....and you copy into mask....but it cant copy in my case....

😊 It says, having created the mask, to go back to the image by clicking on it, then Ctrl I to invert it, Ctrl A to select it then Ctrl C to copy it. Then Alt click to return to the mask (or just click on it) and Ctrl C to copy. The instructions are correct Vikrant, and will work in photoshop. 😁

@@namregd Ok....Thank you i will try.....

Thank you! 😊

Well thank you Dennis 😊

So sorry I missed this comment. Not that I'm aware of

Cheers Bill. Glad you found it useful 😊

Ha! Thanks for that. Yeah, I tried wherever possible to explain things as clearly as possible. Seemed to do the trick 😊

Thanks 😊

No problem 😊

Thanks Donny 😊

I'd like to know this too!

Thanks John 😊 Happy you're finding it useful

Matt Schulze Hi Matt. Thanks for that 😊 I do get lots of positive feedback on my vids, which is very kind, but in the immortal words of Paul Young (when he could sing), Everything Must Change 😊 I'm retired now and living in Spain. Whether that's permanent remains to be seen. I haven't done any astro for approaching two years, and I have to say I'm not really missing it. But I have time on my hands now, so never say never 😊

Enjoy your retirement, Doug, just don't forget to look up every once in while.

TheZ3roCool Glad it helped 😊

Chuck Porter Hi Chuck. The core in the initial layer, the layer with the majority of the Nebula, is blown out by the exposure - it's over exposed, but you need to do that to get the fainter detail of the outer Nebula. As you stretch the image to reveal the fainter detail more of the core will "blow out" but it doesn't matter because you have the shorter exposure to layer it back in. Hope that makes sense. Pm me if not 😊

+Doug German I understand the need for a short exposure in a longer exposure to capture detail at the extreme ends of the range. However..... I guess I don't understand why you took the brightness slider and, essentially, blew out the core of that shorter exposure that you used to create the b&w mask. I mean you have the detail of the shorter exposure but then you blow it out when you create a mask, I don't understand that part.

Chuck Porter Can't remember this vid Chuck - long time ago 😊 I'll have a look and come back to you 😊

+Doug German ok....thanks. My biggest learning curve in astrophotography so far as the post processing in Photoshop, so I appreciate it.

Chuck Porter Ah. I see what you're getting at. It's not the second image that I'm stretching and blowing out there, it's the mask. The second image has already been processed pre video, as was the first. I don't touch either of the images in the vid, just the mask. The mask, as the name suggests, masks out the image where it's black and allows the image to show through where it's white. As I mention in the video, you don't need to copy and paste the image into the mask to achieve this effect, you can just use a black (inverted) mask and paint it white in the areas that you want to show through, in this case the core. Hope that helps 😊

F RL Hi. Glad you found the tutorial useful. Luminance uses the tonal values in the image itself to enhance to contrast, as opposed to curves which just generally enhances the contrast overall. Try the two and you'll see the difference 😊

Hi Chris. Sorry I haven't got around to looking at your vid yet - I will soon :) "The correct tools" - interesting phrase :) There are no correct tools mate, you use what you prefer to use. I assume you're referring to Pixinsight; I've tried three trial versions of PI over the years, and I haven't been impressed. There's nothing in it that Ps can't do, and it's about the most unintuitive package I've ever seen - all adds to the mystery and allure I suppose :)

TopMan ~ you just told me all I need to know ..my suspicions are correct and I shall go about it using PS only .. I have watched a few vids on the other tools, and I am thinking why are they doing all this ..is it that PS doesnt !! Cheers mate

chilli sauce Thanks! 😊

Vince Hi Vince. Yes, there should be a rotate image option in the menus up top. Under 'Image: I think (I haven't got Ps open as I type this). You'll find you can rotate the image in either direction, as fine as one degree at a time if you need. You'll find you won't be able to match the full image exactly though, but if you're only interested in a small part of the image on the upper layer you should be ok, if you take a bit of care 😊 Hope that helps

Doug German thanks Doug.

KillTheIrishman Thanks 😁

Tony Granbäck Very kind of you to say Tony 😊 I'm retired now (3 weeks ago!) and planning on moving to Spain. I should have time on my hands there, and hoping very much to get back into this stuff. 😊

John Sojka Hi John. Good stuff! Glad it helped 😊

Themaster Adder Thanks 😊 Glad it helped
