I want to try out Astro Panel 2025 (Photoshop Plugin).  I have never used it before.  Also, I am new to Photoshop.  The documentation I have seen so far, such as what is called a "user guide", tells me how to install.  It also has many sections describing various features, but not how I would actually use those features.

 

So, I bought Astro Panel 2025, double clicked on the .ccx file, entered the Authentication number.  So, now I can open up Photoshop, and see the AP panel in Photoshop.  I have my sets of Red, Green, Blue, Ha, etc. image files.  Now what?  There is no documentation of the steps I need to go through.  Nor have I been able to find a youtube video that shows these steps.  I don't know if I load in stacks of images with File/Open, if I need to start a project using some File/New, or if I need to arrange the images files in some particular directory structure?  Or do I need to hold the laptop upside down and shake it?

 

I'm sure that a part of my problem is that I am new to Photoshop.  But I am very interested in trying out a photoshop based solution because I want to learn and use photoshop also for other photography purposes.  Maybe if I already had significant experience in photoshop, this would be intuitive.  But I don't have that experience.  I really could use some step by step directions, but I can't find any.
