Tremendous image, Dr. Gendler.  Yes, I see the great processing on the dark
lanes in the core.  Thanks so much for sharing this technique.  I hope to
use it on some upcoming M31 processing myself.  Thanks a bunch for the
explanation!

Sorry, one thing I left out was the processing involved in
bringing out the dustlanes near the core. In PS I used
layers in "darken" blend mode. The canvas was my stretched
core image. I then layered onto this a version with very high contrast
brought out by aggressive unsharp mask. With the "darken" mode
selected only the shadow data gets incorporated into the canvas
image.
