Learn how to process Astro images with my free Astro Actions for photoshop.

In the video I use the following PhotoShop actions from my action set:
- "Separate Stars and Background Sky Action"
   This creates two new layers one for the stars and the other for the sky background allowing you to process each separately. 
- "Galaxy Dust Enhance Filter"
   This enhances the dark areas of an image, such as dust lanes or dark nebulae, it can even be used with great success on the Moon!
- "Minimise Space Noise Filter"
   This applies noise reduction techniques to the dark parts of an image, reducing 'space noise' granulation, etc. 
- "Colour Stars Filter"
   This supersaturates stars giving your image some colour.
I hope you find it useful.
