OK.
First of all, thanks for the replies. I agree. My preference is for the one on the right. Which is a bit of a surprise.
Here's the thing; the one on the right is a straight run through Registax with some very mild wavelets. That's all.
The one on the left was given the full treatment. virtualdubbed into BMPs... RGBSplit and ppmcentre (using the great new GUIs) ... each channel thru registax, stacked, mild wavelets... AstraImage ... LR decon, recombine ... in to photoshop.
The works!!!!!!!!!!! and yet ...
Go figure???
I'm not sure if it made any difference but I did perfrom the RGBSplit before the ppmcentre.
Perhaps this was a mistake, Mike????
