AstroFarsography | GIMP Astrophotography Editing Tutorial @AstroFarsography | Uploaded November 2019 | Updated October 2024, 17 hours ago.
In this GIMP Astrophotography Editing Tutorial we shall edit my photo of NGC7000 - The North America Nebula. Astrophotography editing is unlike other types of image processing and a lot of adjustments are used. In this astrophotography tutorial we'll cover:

- Levels
- Curves
- Masking
- Layers
- Opacity Change
- Separating Foreground/Background
- Star Masks
- Contrast Enhancement
- Noise Reduction

It sounds like a lot, but you aren't going to even notice we're covering so much. At the end of it you'll have a nice photo of The North America Nebula - I'm sure of it! Be sure to share it with pride, and to tag me in it so I can see it! Social links further down.
So scroll down and get the data as I'm about to show you how to edit astrophotography in GIMP.
