Re: [APML] Another processing challenge



Hi Dave,
           Thank you for your input. I quite like your version. Its shows the nebulosity very well. What did you do to get the result? I tried to get that result but the contrast went too high and looked ugly.

Monte,

I'm not really very good at this, but I thought I'd give it a shot.  Only had time to spend a few minutes on the processing and I used the JPG version. (Bandwidth challenged)  Here is the result.

Hi Guys,
           Following on from Matt's LMC. I thought I would throw this one in for anyone who is interested.

It is a shot of the Scorpius Milky way taken with a 6x7 Pentax on E200, 200mm lens @f5.6 60 mins - push 1/2 stop.

The scan is a monster file so I am posting a small JPG version of it. A pro lab did the scan so I don't know the type of scanner used but I guess it is reasonably good one. 

The detail is good but the colours are a bit dull and when I try to bring them up with PS 5 the shot becomes a bit to contrasty and loses it's detail.

The file is 587kb and is about 2000x1600 in size.

I only have PS but if someone has some real whizbang software that does the trick, I would love to see the result and know what was done.

Many thanks

Monte
