In this tutorial, Ryan Voykin from Dark Rangers Inc. explains the Generalized Hyperbolic Stretch (GHS) process in PixInsight, showcasing its powerful ability to bring out faint details and control bright areas in astrophotography images. Key steps include:

Setting Up for GHS:
- Learn Ryan’s preferred method for using GHS, focusing on gradual adjustments to highlight faint details without over-brightening.

Controlling Dynamic Range:
- Discover techniques to balance shadows and highlights by targeting darker areas first, progressively moving to midtones and bright areas for optimal contrast.

Adjusting Final Colors and Stars:
- Enhance colors by manipulating individual channels and using SCNR to remove magenta from stars, providing a cleaner look to the final image.
