Re: [APML] M63 B&W(smoothness)



Volker,
 
   I shoot many darks and median combine them, same with the flats. I only use curves and levels in Photoshop to post process after reduction, and I median combine wherever possible. I have tried to stay away from any "automatic" processes... I suspect they clip the data.
The same concepts that apply to reducing film grain pretty much apply to CCD imaging... there's just a few more steps over in "the dark side..." Why is it called "the dark side" anyway? Do you start to look like Darth Vadar after using one of these things?
