    Thanks to our friends at DxO for sponsoring today's episode. It’s the middle of summer, which means the Milky Way is up and a lot of you are out shooting the night sky. And if you have ever tried astrophotography, you know the file that comes home looks nothing like the night sky that you stood under. The RAW file is usually flat, gray, and buried in noise. Bringing the Milky Way back to life is the whole challenge of night editing, and DxO makes a set of tools that can handle it from start to finish.
