In this lesson I'll work on an image that was submitted by a Masters Academy member. It's a night sky image that includes the milky way that also includes undesirable light pollution coming from a distant city. I'll use only Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) in this lesson, but next week I'll show you how to deal with similar issues using Photoshop. Note: Another concept I could have used would be to intersect the sky mask with a luminosity mask, but I just felt like painting while I was working on this image. You can see an alternative end result that I think looks better by applying the Snapshots that are attached to the image since I think I did a better job on the image before I started recording this lesson.
NOTE: Some Windows users have reported issues accessing the video playback controls. While we're working on the issue, here's a Temporary Workaround: Click "Introduction" in the table of contents to the right of the video and then immediately click within the video to give it focus. After doing so, use the spacebar to play/pause the video and the left/right arrow keys to scrub forward or backward within the video.
