LRGB Trial

[Les Tilly]

Hi Guys, I have been playing with combining Luminance with my DSLR RGB I took the Luminace from the DSI PRO II I use mine for Guiding, that might have to change I combined it with the RGB image I have of M51 I took with my 40D

What do you think ? worth shooting some luminance ? or just RGB

It's Certainly increased the contrast in the dustlanes Les...

Have you ever tried creating a synthetic L from the RGB. You can play about with the RGB in this "L" without destroying the colour balance...and you can be a lot more radical with the B&C and levels and curves...

Just a thought...

I have been messing around with a luminance layer.

Slighty different to you though....I used the same DSLR RGB data as the luminance.

What I tried was processing my data purely for colour.

Then doing a seperate process, after converting to greyscale, to use as a luminance.

I have not had any good results, but I found this which may help (not tried yet though)
