Hi Mike,
I suppose some people would call it cheating.
I often used ideas from Ken Crawford -
in his
Digging out the Details video:
http://www.imagingdeepsky.com/Presentations.html
It can certainly make an image more appealing
or show something better than no processing.
I think BlurXTerminator is like having a Ken Crawford plugin
for your Photoshop except that it only works in PixInsight.
I think it needs to be done with caution so that details
that aren't there at all are portrayed -
sharpening artifacts -
just like the sharpening worms that we all hate so much.
cheers
Allan
