silentrunning Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I've been developing a process to remove the stars, process them and the underlying image seperatly and then to recombine them. This is a whole new ball game for me. I will need to analyse some images out there and try to decide what it is I am trying to achieve but I'm probably going to stop at this point with this one. 8472, Bottletopburly, +Glafnazur and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Nice colours there, not over saturated. My only minor comment is that, to me, the brighter stars seem to be a bit too sharp and seem to have lost their 'natural' look. But their again, I could never achieve anything close to that. silentrunning 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Clive, I probably do a small blur on the bright star layer to bring that look back to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentrunning Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 I will be playing around with this forever I think. This is a reprocess in which I have reduced the size of the stars and left out the layer of very faint stars. I've been looking at how stars and colour appear on Hubble images - ambitious or what! - and have been heading in that direction as far as possible, getting a bit closer to the look and feel of those images. Standing back from it it looks like Turner was more of an inspiration! Bottletopburly, Clive, +Glafnazur and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I think the bright stars look better now in this image. silentrunning 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Glafnazur Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 The stars in this one looks more natural to me silentrunning 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentrunning Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 Thanks I'll probably revisit this having played around with introducing the stars from various mag ranges in this image... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
