What do you mean by
artificially brightened?
For the
faint halos I have revealed, I create several versions where I have stretched the begeezus out of the faint data to varying degrees and then I (very) carefully blend just the faint stuff revealed, back into a more normally processed version, I then use targeted noise reduction on the layered in heavily stretched data to make it a bit smoother.....this is not
artificial but more like
enhanced. I think as long as the stretching done before the layering is done globally on the raw data and not "artificially" targeted by say, lassoing an arbitrary area, it is a valid representation, particularly for scientific purposes.
