More repro's from Cloud Central aka, Brisbane.

[AlexN]

Martin - I like it, I think you've done well, however I liked mine too so I dont know what we should deduce from that..

I think you've done well indeed actually, colours look nice to me, contrast is greatly improved..

[mill (Martin)]

The contrast and selective coloring give more detail in the lagoon and give a darker background.
Just do a side by side comparison.
Just a pity i don't have the full res pic

[AlexN]

You want one? I can upload the JPG, or alternatively the tiff that **I Think** still has the layers separated (Ha Lum and RGB)

If you'd like to have a go at it, let me know and I'll upload either of the two files.

[mill (Martin)]

The tiff please, then i can also pre learn some tiff processing

[AlexN]

I dont have one that is completely unprocessed, Its processed, but not yet finalised...

I'll get to uploading it asap.

[AlexN]

Ok, I had a look, there is two options...

1 - Ha+R G B version, not in separate layers.
2 - Pure RGB TIFF and the Ha Tiff as separate files. These will need registering etc as they were taken weeks apart..

The Ha+R G B file is probably the better of the two to work on... as all the pesky business is already sorted out.

[mill (Martin)]

No 1 please sire
Hope i wont make a mess out of it.

[AlexN]

Can't do any worse than I did mate! haha...

Starting upload now..

[Matty P (Matt)]

Must be quite a bit of cloud in Brisbane at the moment. When you start reprocessing a reprocessed image you know there is something wrong.

Here's what I'll do...

I'll put an order in for some astro goodies. Might send the clouds down this way for a couple days.

[AlexN]

Dude... I think you'll have to do better than that... I think you need to do a rain dance, video it and put it on youtube hahaha!

My camera will be arriving tomorrow probably, Maybe monday.. Mount in january..... Yea... I think we're going to get some good rain in the coming month.. Its not like SE QLD doesn't need the rain... I'm just doing my bit for the good of the country I think...

[Matty P (Matt)]

If I was to do a rain dance it would most likely keep the rain away. haha.

I don't think I can be much assistance then seeing that you have a new camera and mount arriving soon.

At least it'll keep the clouds away from Canberra.

[AlexN]

Laugh it up kiddo! The sky gods see you always you know.. poking fun at our clouds.. The Darkness Approaches!!

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

I've got another little package due to arrive soon from the US, that will add few more hours of rain.

[AlexN]

Good good.. Give me a chance to build a sufficient dark frame library..

[RB (Andrew)]

Don't know if this will help with your colour blindness Alex, but I believe PS CS4 has a couple of settings for colour blindness, maybe worth checking out.

I liked Martin's repro version and I couldn't resist having a little bash myself since it's raining here too.
Hope you don't mind.
Just adjusted the colour levels and saturation.

Anyway cheers and Happy New Year to all.

[AlexN]

Very interesting RB.. I'll have a look into these settings and see what I can figure out..

I do not mind your re-pro at all, I think it looks good too... I'll check my server pc and see if that upload finished, if it has, I'll put a link to the full res tiff image for anyone who wants to take a stab at it..

Cheers, And a Happy New Year to you too!
