Select the "Enhance Per Channel Contrast" radio button. Click the white square next to "Highlights." Adjust the highlight color to H: 0°, S: 0%, B: 90%. (This is a light grey color that keeps the highlights from blowing out.) Click "OK." Click "OK." Click "OK" again. I don't save the new target colors. -------------------- Blog ST80 • AT80EDT/LXD650 ETX-90/DS-2000 • 10" LX200 Classic ("The Quarter-Meter Telescope at the Heritage Park Observatory") SPC900NC • DMK21AF04 • Digital Rebel XT Post Extras:       tonyb sage Reged: 07/27/05 Posts: 364 Loc: WA, USA Re: Jupiter 5.4.06 and Photoshop Color Enhance [Re: imjeffp]       #944099 - 05/06/06 12:48 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Hi: Wow! Thank you! This looks much better. If you notice the "ring" around the circumference of the planet's disk - is that a result of me not getting the Registax wavelets quite right, in your opinion? Thanks so much again! Tony. -------------------- Celestron C9.25" SCT Carbon. William Optics FLT 110 Triplet APO Refractor. Atlas EQ-G with GoTo hand controller. SBIG ST-2000XCM color CCD.

Re: Jupiter 5.4.06 and Photoshop Color Enhance [Re: tonyb]       #944831 - 05/07/06 01:25 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Tony: I might suggest turning the saturation up, and running gamma no higher than about 20% max at capture. Jupiter is mostly forgiving in terms of color if there's plenty of it at capture. "Ringing" is a headache well known to planetary imagers. At least 2 contributors to this dreaded nuisance are underexposed Avi's and less than excellent seeing. PixInsight has a de-ringing feature in their Wavelets (excellent tool) that helps; but only up to a point and seems to reduce sharpnness slightly. Thanks for posting, and keep 'em coming.
