Full editing tutorial - Stacking and Light Painting nightscapes - Lightroom Photoshop and more

This is a full workflow tutorial for nightscape image post-processing techniques in Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop 2024 and Starry Landscape Stacker. The video assumes that you already have some reasonable Lightroom and Photoshop knowledge; so it's not really for beginners. Se my previous video on single-image processing if you are just starting out.
Night sky images don't have to be really complicated, as I demonstrate in my previous twenty-minute tutorial. Everything in that tutorial is processed within one single image in Adobe Lightroom, without using any other post-processing software such as Starry Landscape Stacker or Adobe Photoshop.
THIS video, takes you a step or two further into the land of Stacking in Starry Landscape Stacker and image blending light-painted layers in Adobe Photoshop.
Night-scapes and PHOTOGRAPHY and LANDSCAPES and SUNSETS are what gets the blood coursing through my veins. If you love landscape photography and wish to find out more about how I turn my favourite locations into images that I treasure, then you're in the right place. I shoot with a Nikon camera and mostly Nikkor / Nikon lenses. I also use the Move Shoot Move star Tracker for crispy clear night skies.

Really appreciate this tutorial, but I just don't know Photoshop enough to understand what's going on, I'm a Lightroom 100% process guy, but would love to learn PS, just don't have the time or need unless I do night sky images, focus stacks etc. I think I could do focus stacks in PS since it is a much easier process.
