Title: M1 Re-process
Post by: Carole on Apr 11, 2011, 19:10:18
I think this is better than my original process which can be found at:

though the stars are now pink.  What do you think?

Had a go at the stars, I think this is better.  Unfortunately this is quite a heavy crop so the stars look a bit like blobs of white paint.

Carole,

In my opinion, not just the stars but the whole image is far too pink.  You need to boost the blue - the original  image you posted had a better colour balance.

Yeah, I agree, it's still a little heavy on the pink.
