Hi guys and gals,

I'm enjoying this good weather for a change!

Here is a tarantula I caught in the backyard this weekend. (Heavily compressed for forums small filesize allowance)

The first stack was quite green with lightpollution and I got lucky after tweaking the sliders to get it's nice 'natural' colours back. By natural I mean blues for the reflection regions and reds for the emission regions.

Is this how others work to get a 'natural' colour or is there a better way to return the image to a more scientific baseline? Like maybe checking the black regions are a neutral grey?

I use the background colour offset in Nebulosity, then apply tweaks in Photoshop (levels / curves / hue saturation).
