    This tutorial covers my complete startrails processing workflow, starting out with 760 RAW images straight out of the camera and combining them into a single finished startrail image (below).

    It covers cleaning and stacking the images, applying the ‘comet fade’ effect to the trails, blending the stacked star images with a twilight foreground image, color processing and finishing touches.

    Photoshop CC/CS is required, Tony Kuyper’s TK Actions Panel is recommended.

    The download is 4 video files in MP4 format with a resolution of 3440x1440. Download size is 2.8GB. Runtime is approximately 83 minutes.

    The tutorial is recorded on a Windows PC, if you are a Mac user substitute the Control and Alt keys for Command and Option.

    I don’t include my RAW images due to the download size (36GB), but I do include 3000px wide JPG versions so you can use these to follow along with the videos or just examine the camera settings I used.
