i think getting a better bge would be good. also if you want you can use cosmic clarity as a free version of blurX if you dont have it

if its ok to you can i have the data pls?

[carmine geode]

I used Blur

bge?

Background extraction?

Oh damn, bge actually did a lot more i expected

^^

I´m sry to say, but i dont really like sharing my best shots

[frosty yew]

yeah

[frosty yew]

thats ok dont worry

[carmine geode]

I even used BXT once more only for the luminance and i think it´s also a little improvement

Anything else you would do to this image? 😄

[frosty yew]

i think i'd get more black point to bring black to the background and stretch the nebula a little more

taking this out the image is lovely!

[carmine geode]

I actually never played around with the black point in PI

Can you tell me how to do this?

[frosty yew]

idk too i'm siriL user

try histogram

play with the 3 points and see with one creates contrast its the black point one

just use it the way you want to get more or less

[carmine geode]

Im not at something like this

Ty very much for your advice i think it looks a lot better now

[frosty yew]

your welcome

[frosty yew]

its way better now

I think doing bge before any processing would have a greater impact on the gradient

[frosty yew]

maybe

[carmine geode]

I did 🙂

But the second use improved it even more

[lethal solstice]

Oh alr 👍
