This is the first four of an eight chapter series of
Solar image processing
tutorials by
Ken Crawford. These are some of the methods I use to produce my
solar images using Photoshop CS5. These do not cover stacking or producing the master frames from your raw data. These are meant to provide a good processing foundation that you can build on to produce more dynamic solar images.
