This is going to sound nuts, but did you see the face in the sky on this image?

Great watching you do this one however a little quick for me (old old man) slow down and don’t assume we understand every aspect of your workflow.
Thank you and will watch again when I have an image of the night sky to work on.
Keep these learning video’s coming, giving us the idea of what is achieved with more understanding of a great product.

This is really cool, and I’m beginning to understand masking!

This great Dylan, thanks.
I have a question for you too. Is it possible to say, stack 12 images of the milky way in On1 and if so, how?
Thanks Again

It seems that all the masking brushes get worse over time, especially when using same in night scenes. There is always a white shadow line at the horizon no matter what method of masking I use. Your way of creating the luminosity mask worked the best but my mountains have a white line and I can’t bring any pixels up to cover same.
I wish ON1 would update their Milky Way editing videos as nothing seems to work as it used to. thanks.
