Never worry what other people post.
My gear cost a fortune so you would expect it to pick up more.

I found these galaxies don't come out very colourful straight out of the colour combine. So you may need to use the sponge tool set to saturate 2 or 3% to rub on them to bring them up.

If you are using Photoshop, Neil Fleming has a few free actions you can plug in to boost galaxy saturation etc. I didn't use them with mine but I have used those galaxy actions in the past and they work well.

Thanks Greg, I've been trying to get my processing skills back to a decent level, I have quite a number of differing versions. I will play around over the next couple of days. Thanks for the encouragement.

Thanks Paul, Getting the saturation point just right seems to be the go, Hopefully I will get a bit more colour over the next few processes.
