A purchase is required to activate. macOS & Windows · Photoshop 2023+

Three steps

Install in minutes

1

Run the installer

Download for your platform (a DMG on macOS, an installer on Windows) and run it. It places the local engine, the Lightroom Classic plugin, and the panel, installed through Creative Cloud's standard extension mechanism. No developer mode required.

2

Restart Photoshop

Open Photoshop once more so it picks up the new panel. Find it under Plugins → NightScape Lab and dock it wherever you like.

3

Activate & go

Paste the license key from your purchase, once. Then select a night's frames in Lightroom and choose Stack in NightScape, or pick RAW files straight from the panel's Stack tab.

Updating later is the same motion: the panel shows a banner when a new version ships, and you re-run the installer.

What you need

PsAdobe Photoshop 2023 or newer (version 24.0+), desktop edition.
