I appreciate the revisit of the image!
Lefty’s is great place to start, covers a lot of ground and easy to understand. I also quite like Visible Dark’s and Galactic Hunter’s. I like to see different ways of doing things and adapt them to my own technique.
I did do the invert image and SCNR method to remove the magenta cast, however I wanted to keep a little bit of colour in them, so I only did SCNR with a strength of 0.5. Was just personal preference really.
