Re: [APML] Milky Way in Sagittarius

["Nicola Montecchiari" <nmontec@libero.it>]

Hi Brian,

thanks for your hints. I'm actually using PS 5 to do all the job so the
links you gave me were very interesting.
For what concerns the slight magenta shift, I made it on purpose, in order
to have a different view of the same zone you can get from other
astrophotographers. In particular, I find very interesting to use the dark
magenta for the external faint part of the Milky Way meanwhile having a
better balance in the central dense parts of it.
Do you think I'm not reducing correctly the image?
What I normally do is working with TIFF (as you tell me) and than resizing
changing the original resolution from 300dpi to 72dpi (the one for
monitors).
After that, I save the image as JPEG with Image quality set to 5. I do this
in order to have a small filesize. Looking at my monitor I can't see a big
loss in detail, but perhaps I'm wrong, can you tell me your setup or what
you'd suggest me?

thanks a lot for your hint!
Nicola
