Hi,
A question on processing as I know my skills in this area are limited. After I take a number of images I use Deep Sky Stacker to stack both lights and darks (no yet using flats let alone even know what bias frames are). Then I save the image as is and then do some basic processing using the colours and tonal range offerres in DSS. Once this is done I usually save this image and then reopen it in Photoshop CS3 and work on levels and curves (normally only once). My question is can I use my original saved image in DSS with no adjustments and open it in CS3 and bring the colours as well as then work on the levels and curves. I am currently working through the book Astronomy Photoshop but am wondering if I can bypass any stages that I am currently doing.
Thanks
Mark
