It started as the cats paw captured with the 8 inch and Nikon some time ago but in an effort today to extract detail of whatever may lay hidden and do extrteme things to get it out...hang the colour in other words:D see what comes out...
I ran the image thru Startools and it looked as good as it could be for what it was...but then I took the image into the new GIMP and played around and after slight levels and brightness etc took up the dodge tool and started doing particular regions till I covered the whole image:eyepop:..redo for dodge tool is labourious when there was all the redos so I went with it:D.. Everywhere I used the tool seemed to benefit as to detail bringing stuff out that I had not detected with brightness and contrast or levels...the poping out of the solid colour got me wondering if its the computers imagination or if those solid patches represent something although not nicely captured...I was thinking of repairing it somehow..if it was something....MAsk it and play with it maybe...anyways I am finding Startools easy to use at a basic level and have a work run that certainly is better than I can produce with photoshop...the image changes so little in each step and it takes ages but at the end they all add up.
The second one was processed in the old gimp and never daw startools...somewhere between the two maybe.
Anyways I suspect this image has more wrong with it than right but its all I have done today:P.
