As most of you know, I'm new to astrphotography
with film but very captivated by it.
It's just trying to understand PS and curves
etc..
I've spent the last two days reading and re-reading
Matt Ben Daniel's article on curves and finally
think I got it licked.
I've uploaded a raw image I took a few months
back (I know it's not focussed or tracked properly and the
vignetting
needs looking at) to see what I could do with
curves. I've never got even a half decent result until now.
I would appreciate any comments on them (apart from
the faults that I've mentioned above) to know
if I'm finally getting somewhere with
curves.
(Alan, if you're reading and the comments are kind,
I'll let you know what I did).
The raw scanned image is at : http://www.astropics.co.uk/m42raw.jpg
The processed image is at: http://www.astropics.co.uk/m42pr.jpg
I also tried a colour range mask (per Jerry
Lodriguss web site article) and a little digital unsharp masking.
Appreciate any constructive criticism - am I
starting down the right path or did I make a wrong
turn somewhere?
Thanks
Eddie Guscott
