Agree - great thread.
For my solar images I only use wavelet 2 or 3 in gaussian mode. The last thing I always do is to add a gaussian blur layer in PS. The amount and opacity depends on the quality of the image. For a good one its barely there - but it is there.
I also think over processed images look less appealing. I would rather see a slightly blurred/soft image with detail than an over processed blocky staurated one. Remeber as soon as you over process you're loosing some of the detail that you've work so hard to capture.
Dont know if I'd agree with the image scale/wavelet size statement. As the smaller number wavelets are fo finer detail I would think that if the image is small in scale than a small wavelet should be used. If on the other hand the image is noisey due to bad seeing, say, then using a small numbr wavelet would bring out the noise alright. And this is where the guys like Paul, Bird and Trevor have the ace. Their raw images are full of detail and v little noise.
Good to see everyones opinion on this thanks Matt
