impressive prom 150421

Quick look around the edge showed the brighter prom and small column from yesterday had developed....
Even under my mediocre seeing conditions (wild and windy) it looked pretty good.
Enjoy!

That's a nice prom and pic Ken. Well done. Too cloudy where I live. regards, John W.

Wow! That's a really impressive image Ken. The colour presentation takes it up again to another level. Great stuff. Thanks for posting.

That is a beautiful image Ken! Was the colour done in GIMP or PS?

Peter,
I have a setting for "Prom colour" (RGB 84/-14/-114) in Irfanview.
Apply "colour corrections"
Then through Corono to hide the disk, finally a tweak in PS5 to adjust the layers. Thanks to Martin for the heads up on the PS layers!!

Yup not a good start year, been a summer of east coast lows and rain here on the Gold Coast!

Really like that Ken, you have the colour just perfect. I used your settings in Irfanview but can' get that look. I guess using PS helped. I'm stuck with Gimp at the moment so have to make that work somehow.

Peter,
The added settings in Irfanview:

Peter,
Have a look at the current PaintShopPro.
30 day trial and very cost effective, no monthly charges.

In the levels menu adjust the settings to tone down the background.
I’ll upload some typical adjustment numbers later.

Peter,
Working on BMP images I use levels around:
128/0.8/255 to 124/1.1/255

To allow upload, the last thing is to re-size and save as "quality" Jpeg.

Thanks Ken,

Will have a look at this today.
