Import a master image for the ground
In Nebulb it is possible to import an image specifically for the part of the ground (master image), thanks to which you can easily obtain an image composed of the part of the ground present in that image merged with the part of the sky obtained during stacking.
It is very common to take a capture by illuminating the scene, or taking advantage of the twilight at sunset or sunrise, and then merge it with the part of the sky obtained during stacking. For this purpose Nebulb allows the import of a "master" image.
To import the master image you simply have to press the following button and a window will open so that you can select the image you want to use as master.
Also, the master image information (file name and date of capture) can be consulted at the bottom of the "Import Images" module:
IMPORTANT 1: The master image can be imported both before and after stacking, but it is only activated once stacking is finished.
IMPORTANT 2: You can change the master image as many times as you want (by deleting it and loading another one again), both before and after stacking.
IMPORTANT 3: The master image must be of the same type and dimensions as the images you have imported for stacking. That is, if you have imported images in RAW format, the master image must also be a RAW of the same type, while if you have imported images in TIFF format (for example), the master image must also be a TIFF.
You can import the master image both before and after stacking, but you can only use it after stacking. And to use it you simply select it (after the stacking is finished) from the drop-down list in the lower toolbar:
Below, you can see an example showing the different result you can obtain by importing a master image in which the ground is illuminated:
