Thanks Rick!

The way the weather is going I'll be doing more repro's, all good though fun to see if I can improve on previous processing.

Got all my images on photo bucket, and being an old fart don't like change.

I was actually processing the lagoon last night, sometimes I'd end up with a whitish core other times purple. this looks pretty natural, so I might have another crack tonight.

Thanks Rusty!

Do you process your raw images or convert them to tiff?
I nearly always convert to tiff, it seems to preserve colour better and make it easier to process.
It also has an added advantage of reducing the star size, don't know why just my observation.

Thanks Laurie!

I'm happy with the detail, so easy to process it out if I'm not careful.

Never get tired of the Lagoon

Thanks Dunk!

Yep loads of colour in the Lagoon, no channel swapping required just saturation.
