Hola Amigos...
Astrophotography isn't only about capturing pictures. It's about Editing and Post Processing too. Well, Post Processing is little bit humiliating but fun thing to do, if used properly.
What's Post Processing?
Well, Post processing is the secret sauce that takes a well-captured photo of the night sky and turns it into the final product a budding astrophotographer can be proud of!
And in Astrophotography, there's another term called Stacking Images.
What is it and where do it helps?
Stacking is one of the basic essentials in Astrophotography. Stacking means combining or layering 2 or more images. Remember in my blog, Star Trails, I talked about a software named StarStax...! It stacks images together. That's what it does. In our night sky images, there are details we want to pop up. And there's noise in our pictures also. Stacking do both at same time. It removes noise and give us more detailed image. But, it'll make the file size large. In softwares like StarStax and etc, they do automatic stacking. But, you can do it manually too .it gives more detailed results than auto stacking. You can do it manually in Adobe Photoshop. Here's a video on how to do that.
Ok, so after stacking, there comes post processing. Stacking is a part of it. But you can post process your images before stacking or after stacking. But processing after stacking is more easy.
Most of the Astrophotographers use Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Lightroom to post process their images. Some use PixInsight too. Never heard? No matter Click here to know more.
There's are many ways to post process a photo. Enhancing it will make it lot more amazing.
This is unprocessed image of Milkyway....
But this is what a processed image looks like.
There's plenty of post processing we can do on a picture that we can't image.
So, I'll be putting 2 videos here, one of Adobe Photoshop and other of Adobe Lightroom.
Here's a video how to process photos in Lightroom.
And here's the one on Photoshop.
Feeling like haven't got enough money to buy a DSLR? Or the softwares?
Don't worry! Read my blog tips and tricks. A few tips for using your mobile to do Astrophotography are there....
So, that's all for now.....
See you later Amigos...!
