Max Rive presents, 2 of his most creative techniques in this new Photoshop editing and post processing tutorial. The first technique is his creative, yet perfect focus stacking merging. His second editing technique is his manually sunstar creation technique (a 2023 NEW technique!). His focus stacking technique removes any visible merging lines that comes with the out of focus foreground. This even allows you to take photos handheld instead of a tripod. The sunstar editing and post processing technique is very easy to implement - you just need to know the secret. Just look at the before and after slider and judge it yourself! This brand-new editing and post processing tutorial comes with an introduction discount for a limited time only.

Kevin V. ★★★★★

I was really struggling with light rays in my landscape edits until this tutorial showed me exactly how to build them layer by layer. The sunstar effect looks so natural it’s hard to believe it was done in Photoshop.

Emma J. ★★★★★

The focus stacking merge method alone was worth the price, and I finally got a clean blend on a shot I'd given up on. It's a straightforward walkthrough, nothing padded.

Robert Q. ★★★★★

The focus stacking section alone was worth it — I finally got a sharp foreground-to-background merge on a mountain shot that always turned mushy before. His lightray technique is a bit fiddly at first, but once it clicks the results look way more natural than my old dodge-and-burn approach.
