Nice work David. I think most of what you did there, I could do with P.S. Elements. I'll give it a whirl.

The shots were already taken and stacked. Most stacking programs start you out with this very ugly grey photo as there is way too much data in the image, a lot of which needs to be tossed out to focus in on the light data. The videos show you how to stretch, composite, and color adjust the images.
