In the comparison you have made, what processing was done on the right hand image?

Thanks for the nice feedback Mike - no tweaks were done to the Ha stack on the right, it's straight out of APP > Starnet.

As for the software that creates false detail, I'll be avoiding it like the plague since there's no way of knowing what detail might be created and where. |
Thanks Marcus, glad you liked the image.
Each to their own as the Topaz usage and results I guess. Although I've had the software for some time, I havn't used it this way before at the start of the post processing/image assembly as I usually just run it at the end to minimize noise.
That said, now that I've tried this out - I'm not convinced by the nay-sayers that it's "generating details that arn't there"
, but simply refining what is, and in a very advanced manner.
At the end of the day, having transparently and openly shared 'before & afters' of Topaz for the benefit and interest of this community, and enjoyed the resulting discourse, I'm delighted with this result & it made me happy - which is what really counts for everyone in this game
