"Award for best astro image destroyed by extreme over-processing and incorrect use of artistic filters" perhaps

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Hmmmmm, I'm not too sure about that one Mike. Maybe if you removed the stars from it first it would have come out better.

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

I wonder how many more nude and naked starless repros are we going to see?
This rain is predicted for a few more days yet.

[h0ughy (David)]

few too many brews for the last effort. you might as well used the filter pack from topaz

Iffy I throw away the cloths and burn the bra there will be a lot of people laughing to hard or throwing up to much to look at your images Mike.
Iam mellowing about NB images and see some merrit in it these days but starless may as well be just a mixed pallet of colour. I can see myself trying NB but I doubt starless. I think your first sugestion may happen first.

Oh my....
things are going down hill real fast in this thread
we're all going a little stir crazy with all this rain.

[kinetic (Steve)]

Mike could you point me in the right direction towards a
step by step explanation of this technique?
I'd love to try it on some of my stuff.

Love the result!

Alex posted a small tutorial about it here.

Marcus says , : "but when I look at a landscape photo - say a mountain scene with lots of beautiful pine trees in the foreground - I actually WANT to see the trees!!."
What if in the foreground there is a row of power poles and power lines?
Surely you would erase them to appreciate the trees and mountains?
Just my 2cents

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

To each their own Bart.

Interesting effect but I must admit I don't see the point. I woudn't ever add stars to an image without them so why take them away.
