hello all, with the weather the way it is in melbourne its a chance to up the processing skills.... this time its stellar profiles, hopefully this one has the goods. i want to have the stars so you can tell their colour and not just white dots. i found the line tool and ran it over the stars ... very informative, of course it helps if you know what you are doing
so what ive aimed for is
not burnt out in the middle of the stars,
colour blending to a white point.
trying to tick the other boxes too
ie
non crunchy stars
color balance ok (?) i think so
histogram not clipped , sky value 20-30
detail in the nebulosity
i could have bumped up the saturation but for this experiment not nesccesary i think. note crop is 1:1 so would equate to a 30 inch x 20 inch print section.
so guinea pigs required
constructive pointing allowed.
