Popular Post +Derbyshire Dave Posted July 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2022 Whenever I have posted in Ha, I have hust posted the image from as a single greyscale . Thought it worthwhile to try posting in the supposedly more natural red colour. To achieve this I started with the greyscake Ha, and used Starnet to remove the stars, and leave a star mask. Then into Photoshop, and converted the mode of the image from greyscale to RGB. Then deleted the blue and green channels. Then pasted in the star mask, moved it below the now red pelican, and chose the blend mode as 'screen. Result is below, I quite like it. Original greyscale is below. I'd be interested to see which people prefer, red or grey.. Sheila, +Glafnazur, +DaveJW and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Derbyshire Dave Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 Interesting. I do too, I think, but I quite like the brightness of the red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Mono for me to, even though a Ha image effectively just has the one shade of deep red. +Derbyshire Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 As a dedicated visual monkey I am going to get involved in this discussion about colouring in! 🤣 It's clear the dedicated imagers like mono and traditionally as mentioned, Ha has been depicted in red. I can see both sides of this and from a purely aesthetic view point I would choose a muted version of that red. The reason why is that it brings out the foreground stars better and gives something to separate the Ha from other objects. The grey scale though gives better definition to the Ha and looks able to tease more detail from the image, which I guess is the point of doing it. This of course is my personal opinion and has no other scientific basis. Either way, carry on turning out great images in whatever format you choose as it's still appreciated. +Derbyshire Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really interesting Martyn. The sky, in reality is definitely not mono. That is in line with my thinking of initially converting it to red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
