Very nice signal, maybe a bit too dark in the background?
@vincent-mod
Thank you!
Hmm, this might be a screen cal/difference issue? I mean, it's not clipped for sure...
I still see the BG differences and features.
Sorry for the delay. Yes partly, if it's not clipped that is good indeed. I personally simply prefer a slightly brighter background, but it's a great result nonetheless!
Yes of course, we all have our creative differences 🙂
The lower part of the photo below the "wall" is always brighter, the upper part is always darker, since it's kind of "blocked out".
I wanted something a bit dramatic, since the wall is very emphasized, and bold... That's partly why I went for gentler tones, less saturation, since the structure itself was very pronounced already.
This is for example, an early "playing around" version:
Totally, I definitely get your idea as well and I do like it. 🙂
Re-process, from stacking (with the new v2 beta), Ha-Oiii algorithm to Ha than Oiii
A brighter version, (@vincent-mod remembered you preferred it 🙂 )
