The ten RAW images were developed in Adobe Lightroom, with identical adjustments synchronized across all frames to ensure consistent color and tonal rendering. They were then aligned and carefully blended in Adobe Photoshop 2026 to recover the full dynamic range of the eclipse, preserving detail in both the directly illuminated lunar surface and the darker region immersed in Earth’s umbral shadow. Final tonal, color, contrast, noise-reduction, and selective sharpening adjustments were completed using Nik Collection software. The finished image was exported using the sRGB color profile.
