Martin - Lovely image mate!
I always truly enjoy reading your posts about how you arrive at your chosen colour palletes and visual presentation of data!

Its always so unique, but also somehow always so successful!

Well done mate.
Thanks Alex,
I’ve always presented my images with a rundown on conditions, equipment, capture details and technical data etc…
All images have a process or story behind them.

As far as post processing is concerned, it’s Startools that’s so unique, not me , it’s not traditional processing like Pi and many others. Every pixel is actively tracked and optimised for SNR through the workflow process. Colour and Noise reduction is performed at the very end. Advanced physics based algorithms control the functions of each module which provides a baseline platform whilst maximising SNR which takes all the user guesswork away and then allows optimisation to be applied at will.
There’s only about 10 or 12 modules but they are extremely powerful and most images can be processed with only 6 or 8 modules.
Your data set is loaded via the Compose module in which selection can be made on what type of composite you wish to process and also acts as a channel extraction tool.
During processing the luminance and chrominance is handled simultaneously ( only the luminance is used to view your image) until you hit the colour module. The Colour Module has a huge selection of options in the main window but also has a matrix with dozens of presets which can be adjusted to suit taste etc…
