I like it coz it looks a little more arty than the usual suspects but i think it has been a little over processed.

But as I say, I like it.

It is so bright is almost hurts your eyes 8)

[CELESCOPE]

Yes i think you have there Robin,the detail must be there though ,its just getting that processing right , its a huge learning curve Robin , keep at it , like me have to get the right balance

Nice one Rob.

Are you just using CS2 for processing.

[robindurant]

Yep

[barkis]

You have improved it with the second one Robin.

It shows a lot more of the structure that had been drowned in the first one.

It's a very nice Picture mate. You have to learn tricks like unsharp masking and stuff like that coz I read it.

pays not to rush this processing

Second process is a long way better Robin and I bet there is more to come with that image. Are you using curves or just levels?

[robindurant]

Hi Martin

I have used curves as well as levels but as you say I believe there is more info in the image that I am getting out. I have tried 2 versions so far which I am not happy with. Below is another a little less intense which I prefer. If you feel that there is still more maybe I can send you the stack by "Yousendit" for you to have a go at and maybe you could tell me how you did it.

Hi Robin

Well it looks like you are heading in the right direction with your processing, 3rd image is a lot better....

Good job

Robin, you are well on your way on that learning curve as version 3 is much better with a lot more detail showing through.
