This is the original shot on photo but when I play around post image processing I usually use PS Elements 6. I did not choose that option because I liked the natural color in this shot. I found the clarity the shot can stand up to a good deal of additional magnification as is.ISO 100 ss80
Thanks for asking.
Be Well

I don't mine you adjusting the original. I just think that's one of the best parts of digital photography.

It was simply grey scaled, sharpened, and enhanced.Then edge preserved smoothed, all in paint shop pro.I did a final ,very light gamma adjustment.Actually did very little.

I really enjoyed looking at the original picture; the second looks like it has been grossly overprocessed.

In digital photography, and I love that aspect of it, too much processing can seriously degrade detail.

Where is all the stuff from the original that didn't make it to the "enhanced" version?

Playing the game with the original photo with minimal processing, namely goosing up the contrast just a little bit, here's my take. A lot of gentle processing is a matter of taste.

Also, note well that a great processed picture wholly depends on a truly GREAT original. And Greyhaven has provided us with one!

Mark and Ed, exactly a bit more work on the original does bring out detail missing from my original, yet, they both keep the natural appearance of the original. Both of your works are improvements on mine without making it unrecognizable.
I'm still very new at real AP , and want to stay as true to the eyepiece view as I can on the Moon. Yours both do, nice work.
Be Well

My favorite Mark. You lostr the sepia too which is appreciated. Sharpening isnt overdone. Nice.

Pete
