Warren Keller IP4AP- Image Processing For Astrophotography
IP4AP was created for Astrophotographers of all skill levels. There are many resources for learning Image Processing, but we believe these techniques are best taught - Visually! Let "Image Processing for Astrophotography" be your guide to the easy and fun way to learn the most sought after techniques in Astro-Imaging.
Unleash the power of Adobe Photoshop on your Astro-Images! You´ve made a large investment in equipment - Now make a small one and learn the secrets of producing stunning Astrophotographs. IP4AP has produced three series of quality videos called Photoshop Foundations Basics, Photoshop Foundations Intermediate Part-1 and Part-2 The Five Ss. They´ll convince you.... Visual learning is the easy and fun way to go!
While recorded in CS2, All of the processing concepts demonstrated in the series are valid through the latest version of Photoshop CS. ´The Kitchen´ tutorial of Photoshop Foundations Intermediate Part-2 The Five Ss addresses the major changes. Of course, Photoshop will continue to be improved, and the look of the UI workspace will change as well, though this is largely cosmetic.
The most significant change as of CS4 is the institution of the Adjustments Panel. Whenever Warren demonstrates the use of Duplicate Layers in CS2, be advised that most adjustments can now be done in more efficient Adjustment Layers via the new Panel. Additionally, the new Mask Panel is conveniently placed right beside it.
If you´ve ever been dazed and confused at the thought of doing Astro-Imaging and Processing, don´t be! Everyone learns differently - Some people are great at reading instructions, others learn through trial and error, and many learn best by being able to actually "see" how something is done. That´s the secret behind IP4AP’s "Image Processing For Astrophotography". Let´s take a look at how the system works...

"Sehr ausführliche Anleitungen für Bildbearbeitung astronomischer Objekte, gut nachvollziehbar. Empfehlenswert für Einsteiger aber auch Fortgeschrittene in der Bildbearbeitung."
"Having had a couple of sessions with Warren covering essential facts about sophisticated usage of Astroart and Photoshop was like leading me out of the dark basement of astrophotography into the highlighted groundfloor and further up guys and I can tell you this is a highrise building and Warren is the perfect guide. Warren, thanks for enriching my knowledge about digital processing! You really made my day."
