MartinB Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Well that's a beauty Adam and well worth the postingThe outer stars are beautifully presented. The problem with M13 is that the outer areas are much dimmer than the core so when you stretch the image the core gets burnt out. Using curves rather than levels helps but have a look at this routine which really does the businessCompositing 2 Different Exposures via Layer Masks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
