Will you be coming to the SPSP? I'd like to meet you if you are. Generators are allowed now at the house area.

Just the finger tips - takes me a while to get the focus right though. Unfortunately, for one set of subs I neglected to focus properly

. I think one day I'll get myself a PDF - or at least a 10 to 1 microfocuser.
Yep - wild horses coudn't keep me away from SPSP. See you there!

Thanks Steven. No, not compression artifacts - I think it's a combination of the minimum filter I'm using to de-bloat and the high pass filter I'm using to enhance the detail (got to remember to mask off the stars!!). I fixed them - still not perfect but much better. I toned the yellow down a little bit too.

Tried reprocessing today to get more detail and depth. Can't do it - subs are too short. I tweaked the curves a bit to bring out the arms a little better though.
Cheers all, Marcus
