Did you do anything to boost there colours or did the colours come in that way. eXCITING TIMES AHEAD.

HI Mark

Well honestly and maybe it's my imagination but the star colours did seem easier to reveal ...maybe it's a reflector issue? The focus certainly didn't vary between filters so maybe that helped too?

Otherwise it is just a matter of sellecting the stars using Noel Carbones (sp?) action set in PS and uping saturation and tweeking the colour balance, not hard if your stars aren't over saturated
