Description

And the winner is ... PI. This was quite a journey to get a decent image of M33. I took those images quite a while ago, and I tried to get something out of it with PS, but to no result that I could "live" with. All RGB images from my backyard suffer from severe gradients due to hard light pollution from the east. Only PI was able to really resolve those issues. And PI did an excellent job to integrate the Hα data with the red channel, by far superior to PS. BUT ... PS was not completely out of the picture, I still like the final adjustments in PS, they are so much easier to handle, but maybe this is just because I am more used to PS. At least I learned now how to create an HαRGB with PI, that was good. There are so many options to deal with in PI that it almost suffocates you. I wish I could learn everything at the same time, but this is indeed impossible.
