I found I got the best contrast on the darned thing if I put it into Photoshop, switched to LAB mode, and worked on the intensities (in just the LEVELS layer) with the levels tool. Click the "white" dropper, and select the center of the comet to make it as bright as possible.... then worked on the gamma so that some of the tail was visible in all that mess. It seemed to do the best job of making it stand out. How'd you do it (if anything), Tom? -Charles -- Charles Robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
