In this video I talk about combining night sky photos with difficult horizon and show an automatic way to blend Milky Way from a tracker like Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer with a ground shot using the new Sky Replacement feature in Adobe Photoshop 2021. It is by far the easiest solution for how to get a perfect mask around a tree and the result is quite amazing. Getting a perfect mask for difficult horizons like trees is one of the most tedious parts of processing nightscapes and the automatic sky replacement feature makes it so much easier because we can just take the mask that Photoshop calculated and apply it to one of our own layers.
