My Processing Video Tutorials for Beginners

Single Exposures and Stacking

Master the fundamentals of nightscape processing with two in-depth video tutorials designed to help you bring out the hidden beauty and detail in your RAW files. From single-image editing and stacking to advanced masking, color grading, star reduction, and detail enhancement, you’ll learn a practical, step-by-step workflow to transform your nightscape images into stunning results - even with a standard, non-astro-modified camera.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Here's what you'll learn:

✨ Single RAW Image Processing – Follow a clear, step-by-step workflow to bring out the maximum detail and information hidden in your RAW files.

✨ Image Stacking Explained – Learn what stacking is, why it's so useful, how it works, how many frames you should stack, the differences between stacked and single exposures, and which software to use.

✨ Star Reduction Techniques – Understand why star reduction is useful, when to apply it, and how to use it to achieve a more balanced night sky.

✨ Custom Luminosity Masks – Discover how to create a quick and easy custom luminosity mask to separate the foreground from the sky, allowing you to process each independently for better results.

✨ Color Correction & Color Grading – Learn how to correct colors, work with individual color tones, and create a balanced, visually appealing nightscape image.

✨ The Orton Effect – Discover how to create a soft, dreamy glow that adds atmosphere and depth to your images.

✨ Sharpening & Detail Enhancement – Learn how to compensate for softness in your image and enhance important details without compromising image quality.

Both videos are entirely in English, approximately 30–40 minutes each, with clear explanations of not just how to achieve the results, but also why each step matters. My goal is to help you understand the techniques, build confidence in your editing workflow, and apply what you learn to your own nightscape images.

📂 RAW files included! You'll receive the original RAW files I used in the tutorials, so you can follow along, practice each technique, and apply everything you've learned in real time.

One-time payment. Lifetime access. Watch the videos as many times as you like and learn at your own pace.

Whether you're just starting your astrophotography journey or looking to improve your processing skills, this tutorial will give you practical knowledge and techniques you can start using right away!
