Follow along with the included files or with your own work and learn directly from me as I edit multiple exposures to produce a final photo ready for print/web!


----> Preview of the 2hr lesson <----


This tutorial is an advanced tutorial and assumes you know the basics of Photoshop, how to open files, what Adobe Camera Raw is, and I use a few hotkeys in the tutorial which are:

  • "x" switches between foreground/background color
  • Typing "1" when in a brush sets the opacity of that brush to 10% and typing "0" sets the brush opacity to 100%, etc
  • Holding ALT while in a brush allows you to pick a color by sampling from the image, clicking sets that color
  • CTRL + Click on a channel to create a selection from that channel
  • CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + Click will step a channel's selection down in value
  • CTRL + L opens a levels adjustment on a Channel or Layer
  • Holding ALT while clicking the New Layer icon brings up options for the layer (ability to name it, blending mode, fill with 50% gray, etc) 


Techniques Covered:

  • Preparing/planning for a night sky image
  • Editing a Milky Way night sky image
  • Handling multiple exposures (in this case, 3)
  • Focus-stacking exposures for sharper images
  • Precision-editing light/value range with luminosity masking
  • Noise reduction techniques
  • Sharpening
  • General image clean-up
  • Editing/Manipulating RAW images with Adobe Camera Raw 


Software Required: Adobe Photoshop


Prerequisites: None! Although if you want a more in-depth look at utilizing luminosity masks to dodge and burn like a pro, check out the free tutorial (tips appreciated)
