Thanks guys, like Chris (Omaroo), the Moon is one of my favourite objects – always welcoming and so forgiving of poor seeing when captured at the prime focus.
This was a rework from a session in Oct and I got the image looking as sharp and natural as possible in CS4 and then used the
Topaz Labs Plug-in, “Topaz Detail” which boosted the micro contrast without introducing noise or sharpening artifacts. This made a HUGE difference - I like this Plug-in very much!
I ran the Plug-in on a separate Layer and then blended it in as Luminosity at 50%.
Cheers
Dennis
