Absolutely brilliant Walt. I’ve watched every single video of yours so far and enjoyed them all. As others have mentioned, you are a natural tutor and I love your channel so much. Thank you for doing what you do 🤝

We did a Milky Way maternity photoshoot on the top of a Colorado mountain pass!! We did some picnic poses calling it "Staructerie". They turned out incredible! Now I'm addicted to figuring out how to take these photos myself. The photographer did such an amazing job for a truly unique maternity photoshoot. Thank you for the great how-to. I'm excited to try these out!

Fantastic video Walt. You are a natural teacher. This is the first time I’ve seen anyone use the Sky Replacement tool. Very powerful

I was just thinking about how to do this. Perfect timing!

I learned so much! It is my first try attempting to shoot the Milky Way. I took like 6 pictures with different ISO settings so I could also get a brighter image of the tree on the foreground. I even adjusted the focus to get everything right. Did it all at my front yard in the middle of Rio de Janeiro with so much light pollution and was able to post-process it to a point which I could see the Milky Way very clearly. Thank you.

Great video. Here’s a trick I use for the star reduction. Go to your channels window, grab the RGB channel and drag it down into the little “select” circle at the bottom of the layers window near the mask button. It will select all of the highlight quickly and then you can go in and expand and feather.

You are right about PS: practice, repeat, practice, repeat... When you can tweak a snail hair, you know there are too many options. Great video, Walt. I plan to use this video a lot.
