This area doesn't really need heaps of data, as this result clearly demonstrates

Thanks Mike! lol. I'm not surprised the decon police caught me red-handed with this one. I did overbake it for sure.

This is all explained here http://harrysastroshed.com/pixinsigh.../histogram.mp4 in much greater detail.

Thanks Geoff! I don't see myself doing away with curves or doing little tweaks, but I may now use STF as a starting point. I got some HA data on Gabriela last night and did so with that, and was reasonably happy with the results after comparing to what I got when doing a manual initial stretch.
