Post-Processing with Photoshop and PixInsight | 2023-11-12

Many astrophotographers debate over which major software package they should process their images in...Photoshop, or PixInsight? PixInsight has many advantages, but Craig Stocks will show us where he uses Photoshop instead.
Craig Stocks was a professional photographer before he turned instead to mechanical engineering. During his career, he kept his interest in photography, and began it again in earnest upon his retirement in 2009, including serving as an Artist in Residence at the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in Arizona and later at the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge in Wisconsin, in addition to being a volunteer photographer at the Golden Gate Recreational Area in San Francisco. Now located in Southwest Utah, he continues to share his passion for fine art photography by turning his cameras toward the heavens, and establishing the Utah Desert Remote Observatories to host remote telescope operations from around the world.

This is great! Wasn't on the live show... but as a landscape photographer as well this brings the rwo together.

This is way I have been doing until Narrowband Normalization was appeared. Now, Photoshop has only one step. Color management by using hues.

I find Photoshop much easier to make artistic adjustments than Pixinsight but I've gotten in the habit of working with Pixinsight through most of the image workflow. Thank you for the reminder in how mush quicker it is to do artistic processing in PS vs Pi, I think you've saved me hundreds of hours screen time when I process my backlog of objects.
