Astrogeezer Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 I'm struggling to merge these two photos. My attempts at merging have failed as the trees in the resulting image get smudgy (circled). The process I've been using is: 1. Select landscape by using selection brush tool and flood select tool, 2. Mask landscape, 3. Combine Milky Way image by using Move Tool and Place command. I appreciate your comments on how I can get a crisp composited image.

Not sure how you did the merge But I cut out the foreground (trees, etc) to a new layer Then found that adding an exposure adjustment to the sky layer made it look less "smudgy" (Affinity file attached) trees.afphoto dominik and Astrogeezer 2 To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.
Astrogeezer Posted September 14, 2023 Author Posted September 14, 2023 Hi Carl, thanks for this. Because of your advice, I'm a lot closer to what I'm trying to do. The tree on the right is still a problem. Perhaps that's because there wasn't tons of detail to start with. BTW, I appreciate the title you gave the file, i.e., Trees. The title sounds like a Post-Punk song.
