Non Ps expert here.

 

I'm stuck!

So I have a composite of the annular eclipse from a nice site in Albuquerque. Problem is when you combine the two in Photoshop with a blend mode of 'Lighten', the suns appear washed out (see attached image). I thought about selecting the suns separately, but I don't seem to be able to get a 100% clean selection. 

 

Any suggestions appreciated!

 

Mike

Greetings,

 

That sky just needs to be darkened and your foreground just a bit.

PS gradient will be your friend. :-)

 

 

Here is a tutorial and you can find many online.
