    What's included in the course?
    This mini-course includes:

    • A 90+ minute start to finish edit of this gorgeous landscape. You'll see everything from the RAW to the final image. This includes RAW processing for night skies, multiple noise reduction techniques, blending, removing halos, dodging & burning, adding star glow, and more.
    • Bonus: how to optionally upgrade the final image for enhanced display on HDR-capable displays (the primary edit uses standard dynamic range; this workflow would therefore allow you to print your image as well as upgrade it for HDR display on smart phones and newer monitors).
    • 19 RAW files so that you can follow along.
    • PDF summaries of all the videos with time-codes to make it easy to follow along, no matter what style of learning you prefer.
    • Closed captions for all videos (in English).
    • Lifetime access to the course.
    • Hosting on a professional learning management system to facilitate learning. This helps tie all the various written and visual aspects of the course noted above into an easy to navigate interface, along with a commenting system to interact with Greg or students in the course.

    Course FAQs
    Is there a written version of this course or PDF?
    Yes. Every video is paired with a PDF that lists the processing steps and rationale used, with time stamps so that you can easily find the material you need. This can also be used as a handy reference to find key sections of the video later. In addition, there are several written sections of the course that supplement the videos with more detail, as well as links to additional tutorials or other learning resources.

    Does this course require Lumenzia?
    No. While some portions of the course (such as dodging & burning) use Lumenzia to create and use luminosity masks, the general concepts used should be applicable to other luminosity masking approaches. The course is also recorded using Lightroom / Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) to process RAW files, but the general concepts should apply to whichever RAW processing software you may use.

    How does this course compare with your other courses and videos that come with Lumenzia?
    The image and content in this course is completely unique, there is no overlap. This training focuses on the unique aspects of astrophotography / night skies. This course complements the Exposure Blending and Dodging & Burning Master Courses, but is very independent and you could go through the courses in any order you like.

    Does this course require Web Sharp Pro?
    No, but Web Sharp Pro is used in the bonus section as it has unique tools optimized to support creation of HDR images.
