Is Astronomy Tools Action Set worth buying?

[Rahul Zota]

Hi, I am new to astrophotography and learning post processing. I have been facing problem regarding removing gradient, light pollution in my photographs. Photoshop is not able to remove those uneven lights in my deep sky photographs. Recently I visited Astronomy Tools Action Set in the following website

I thought these actions might help me in improving my results.. and I am planning to buy them.. but before buying I would like to take advice from the experts whether to spend money in these or not!

Sorry, can't help with your question but have subscribed to the thread as I would also be very interested in hearing the replies to this as I was also looking at the same thing.

I bought Noel Carboni's tools for photoshop. They really help and a lot of people use them.

Yes I think these are worth purchasing. I use some of them a lot and others not so.

If only every question on astrophotography were so easy to answer! The answer is Yes. Or maybe YesYesYes!

Even for someone like me who does astrophotopgraphy as part of their work these tools are a godsend. For the expert they save time. For the beginner they introduce processing expertise. You can use them and learn from them. The key thing to note is that you can save the mods 'as layer on top' or 'as layer underneath' and then use the eraser and Layer Opacity tools to save or delete or reduce such parts of the modified image as you wish.

Noel Carboni is a truly great image processor. These tools are very fairly priced and will, if nothing else, save you hours. But they'll do more than that. They'll inspire you.

A definite yes! I don't use all of them and I don't use them all the time but when I call upon them, they always deliver. Very reasonably priced too - just a shame that you don't actually get Noel himself into the bargain to click on for those really tricky images that aren't quite going to plan!

Yes from me too I've recently bought this software and very impressed

I found Noels tools brought my processing up a level or two. Very useful.
