Good job on all of the Tom Dave Quoting Tom C [EMAIL PROTECTED]: One last image. Very little post processing and presented as a vertical crop. Hoped for better but this is what I got.

Comet McNaught as it sinks over the Owyhee Mountains http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5449400 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
Re: PESO - Comet McNaught III
Thanks Charles. You expect me to remember 3 - 6 hours back? :-) I basically adjusted curves for the best contrast/least noise, then tried to reduce the red in red channel only using the levels control. The III version I did none of that. Just cropped and USM. Tom C.
