I never said the image Fred pointed us to wasn't striking (Fred already knows I gave it a big thumbs up
) . But that was not my point.....
I find it laughable for example to suggest, under certain lighting conditions that if a camera renders a models face as green/blue/purple, it be deemed acceptable even though she has pink/fleshy coloured skin.
Image correction is a whole different subject
(Many (daylight) photographers go to some lengths to get the white balance right in their cameras for that very reason....but I digress...)
Getting back to image enhancement, some pretty caustic filters do apply transforms which radically highlight subtle physical processes. There is nothing wrong with that, as this reveals detail that is there, but very hard to see in the original data.
But I'd suggest that is very different to buggering things up to the point where there is stuff in an image, which simply doesn't physically exist.
...but hey, if making the moon look like green cheese makes you happy....go for it......
