Basic Astro Image Processing with Affinity Photo

Update May 21! I am slowly in the process of demonetizing all my videos, I was never in it for the money or the glory. I just like to help people. This way you can rest assured i'm not making a video only to trigger an algorithm or as click bait. I have been a bit disillusioned with it all lately, and hopefully this will help. Instead if you wish to support me you can buy me a coffee or beer instead :) entirely your choice though! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/astrostace ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi! In this video i show you how to do some basic image processing of astro images in Affinity Photo I cover: -how to convert to 16bit (from 32 bit) -how to stretch an image using the levels tool -how to do a curves adjustment -sharpening in develop persona (a bit like adobe camera raw) -noise reduction in develop persona and from the filters menu -how to save and export your image -how to enable photoshop plugins in affinity I briefly touch upon dust and scratches and minimum blur. I'm hoping this will be the first of many videos, its not meant to be a definitive guide..its just to get you started (hopefully). thanks for watching and stay safe!
