There was absolutely no insult taken.
I don't happen to disagree with any comments made here so far. Given the same raw data, no 2 people can ever end up with the same processed image. Some will stretch a little more while others will saturate a little more....
Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder. But I can't help find each of the processed versions of Orion in this thread appealing in its own way...
My aim I guess is to try to bring out as much detail as possible while trying to truly bring out the true colours of nebulae....but that is impossible from the get-go as Ha is partially mapped to red.....
so false colour is already introduced from the very beginning.....
I really appreciate everyone's input on this.....my images are looking better already....
Just want to know if anyone recommends any other plugins for photoshop.....
Thanks
John...
