@@enteringintospace4685 yes, i did. Most of the time i tried to use color mask was, when i either had some colors i tried to get rid off (e.g. colorful artifacts from improper star removal in one NB channel), or if i killed too much color information when using SCNR unmasked. But i was never satisfied with the choice of the masked pixels. Some hues i tried to include weren't. Also, darker or less saturated tones were difficult or impossible. I tried chrominance/lightness/linear masks, and tweaking the hues by using the slider (which is a pain for me, i'd like to have a colored bar or a color preview for this). Maybe, some more sophisticated two-dimensional color space would have worked better.

Hi, Steve! Been watching for a while, great tips and awesome insight from experience. Just jumping into PI and I have a question - for the dynamic background extraction why did you choose divide? I always see people use subtract with no explanation.
@enteringintospace46853 жыл бұрын
Hey Thanks!! So if your master image has a continuous gradient from one direction the the other that typically is and additive gradient you would see from the moon or lp. In the case you would want to "subtract" the unwanted signal. In the other case of a multiplicative gradient ie vignetting due to the image train or over correcting flats you would want to use division to correct the bg. This is typically my issue.

What about other targets like the Veil nebula where color is locally limited. The convolution of the starless color image might smear out some of the color details. What do you think?
