Thank you gentlemen.

The colour is contrived.

With this one I showed my daughter a nice photo on the net and asked her to create a little pallet showing the background and predominate colours..this was done in photoshop ...just a solid colour page with the sky background colour of the net photo with little patches showing the other three colours..I could then create a solid colour in the particlular colour I wanted using the eyedropper type tool and creating a new solid colour layer..I then paste my black and white image over the solod colour and sparingly use the rubber tool to let a little colour thru...I end up with multiple partly coloured pages which I merge over and over until it looks ok...there were four including the background. I put the image together using those colours and checking with her to see if it looked ok until she became irritated so from there I was on my own but the process has given me a way of managing my colour blindness I hope.
She gave up on me when I could not get the blie correct afyer many attempts.
Understandable I can be tiresome.

I do find a stack of all data helps bring out detail.

I stack whatever I get all together ( ha rbg lum whatever☺) and use that result as a foundation to add each of the channels I may have one by one separately..red green etc..but usually I have to create false colour because I have no data for a particular channel...yes its all very wrong but it helps me learn and after all at this stage all I want is a pretty picture☺

Fake it until you make it has always been my moto and although some folk hate that approach I think there is a lot going for such an approach when you can only aspire to be a mug☺.

I didnot go out last night which is terrible because there was plenty of spaces between the clouds..a good night but wasted.

Thanks again.
Alex
