Thanks Josh.
In CS3, I have found the Raw File capability of reading the Pentax proprietary .PEF files to be very useful, where I can make various corrective adjustments.
Most of my (terrestrial) WO and Vixen 'scope photos are underexposed as the OTA’s are relatively slow (F7 and F9) compared to camera lenses and I need to keep the shutter speed up, around 1/250 sec minimum, to minimise camera shake caused by the mirror flipping up, even mounted on a sturdy tripod. 1/1000 sec would be much better!
The shadow/highlight adjustments and smart sharpening have made enormous improvements compared to my old techniques in Corel PhotoPaint, which could probably have achieved the same results but perhaps not as easily?
In Smart Sharpen, I set the Radius to 0.5 pixels and the Amount to between 100 and 250%.
Cheers
Dennis
