I thought I could guess and then do it again, but so far I am getting nowhere. This is frustrating because I DID successfully blend some star photos with, and it was my first try, and it was incredibly easy to do, and totally successful, but I forgot exactly the sequence of steps that I followed. Tired of having parts of your image in unfocused Focus stacking is a popular photography technique that gives ultra sharp images. was nice to receive, and I viewed it, but that tutorial is about making a collage, and that is not the same kind of combining layers, as what I want to do with combining layers to achieve stacking. Please send me more tutorials to read, if there are any more available. I tried "Merge Layer Down" and merged all of them down into one single layer, but that did not work either. I went ahead anyway and made each of them have Opacity = 128 andkept Blending = Normal, but when I got finished with making this change to all of them, the resulting image on my monitor had not changed (I.E. For years I have used Picasa and sometimes Microsoft Paint for photo editing, which I find good except. I tried "Import From File" and got all photos loaded, but instead of being labeled as "Layer" they ALL got labeled "Background".

The tutorials you sent were helpful, but I when I tried stacking the star photos, I still was not successful. I read very closely all 3 of the tutorials you provided, and I understood everything in them, and am grateful to have received them.īut I need more tutorials.

I want to stack them, because the stacking will intensify the fainter details, and in addition to that, stacking will cancel out any digital noise which each individual exposure might have. I have a set of star photos which are separate exposures of the same part of the sky.
