>Thanks for the tip, Carlos! I will try it,
as well. Maybe I'll even try a side by >side
comparison using the same image. That would be an interesting
test...
Sure! Just take a look at the DBE tutorial to learn
how it works. The key factor is were you put the sample boxes. The other
paramethers ussually works very well with the default
values.
The
great advantage of DBE is more noticeable with more difficult images (yours
had a lot of "free" background, and the objects were very small). If you have
a very large object, like nebulas or the milky way, DBE gives you the
possibility to create "virtual" samples using symetric properties. That way
you help the software to create a more accurate model.
Another advantage is that you are working with
32-bits per channels... no poseterization, no steps in your gradient. And
finally, you can use the generated model in the you you want. You can
substract, divide (see my article about dividing film images by a flat), or
just store it. It is a new image.
