Google Photos filters

[BrendanC]

This is probably heresy, but what do people think of using the Google Photos filters on their astro photos?

I tend to find that, after spending ages on a photo, and then uploading it to Google Photos, if I apply a filter it almost invariably looks better!

This annoys me. I don't want my photos to look better after being put through a poxy filter, I want them to look worse. I want them to be fine after I've diligently spend hours on them. Humans good, algorithms bad.

Or, if I just think it looks better, is that ok? Should I stop worrying and learn to love Google Photos?

If it works for you, use it, IMO it no different than using any image program, its still image editing, same as Gimp, and many other programs
