Can you explain your processing routine?
btw  to the forum! how did you hear about us? I notice you're from ASSA - there's been more and more adelaide guys signing up lately, great to see! |
Thanks for the welcome and feedback. I think I orignally found this site by chance when I was Googling for equipment reviews.
For image acquisition, I'm still using the original Philips capture software. Processing was in Registax 3. I'm just sort of winging it here, not really understanding what the various options will do at each stage. Mostly I just use the default settings. A comprehensive manual would be nice. On the wavelets page I've just used the last 3 sliders, at about 10%, 40% and 90% on this occasion, backing off when the noise and processing artifacts become too noticeable. I always use the RGB alignment tool. Then a bit of tweaking of brightness/contrast, colour balance and a bit of unsharp masking in Photoshop. Although I combined a lot of frames for these, the final images are still not too smooth so I suspect that I've overdone the processing.
