Found this interesting tutorial and thought it would be useful to those of us using Photoshop to process images.

That is a very nice use of PS and I will look into applying it near the end of processing. Thanks for sharing, Clinton.

Bob, which version of Photoshop do you use? I have used Elements 14 and today downloaded the 2020 Elements trial, but I was hoping for more.
I know that Trevor at Astrobackyard does some amazing things with Photoshop.

Jim - I am using PhotoShop 2020. I tried Elements (I think it was 12) a while back and found that it didn't have all the tools I was looking for. With the 9.99/month subscription, PhotoShop isn't the big drain it used to be. I started the subscription series with PS 2017 and have been riding along for the updates at no additional cost beyond the subscription.

I appreciate that Bob. Yeah, I’ve used elements for awhile and it has some good tools, but Photoshop has many many more.
I just might give the subscription s try.
Thanks

I find Astrobackyard is really good on many fronts. Trevor's manner and way of explaining things is excellent. I say this tutorial and gave it a try. I found it to be very simple and, so long as you take care to not overdo it, very effective.
