Good morning Terry, I've ran into a snag. On my PS 2024 (All updated done) In the top options bar I don't see the 'Transparency' box, I see you are showing it & it's check marked. Also, after I add a new layer before choosing my colors & using my Gradeint Tool I see a mask layer was created in the Layers pallet ( two boxes with a link chain between and it says 'Gradient Fill 1'. You're not showing that. Can you please help me?

[@tv510]

Photoshop added a new "wrinkle" in the gradient tool. There is a little box that allows you to pull down and use gradient or "Classic Gradient" you just need to put it on Classic gradient and this should solve your issues.

I just saw your layers lesson. I need to work with layers with multiple images in astrophotography. What I do is separate the stars from the nebula and work with different blending modes. The problem is I am a beginner in ps so I get lost. Can you help me

[@tv510]

Thanks for checking out my tutorials. I don’t do too much in the way of astrophotography, but will have an upcoming lesson on blending modes. Hopefully that will clear up at least that part of working with night sky images.

Gets so complicated. I still don't understand a lot of what he did

[@tv510]

Just a little practice and you'll get it. Thanks for watching.
