Description

I’m closing 2019 with this bicolor image of the Jellyfish. Well, not necessarily a bicolor image more like a bifilter image. I normally assign Ha to R, 0.2*Ha+0.8*OIII to G and OIII to B for a natural looking bicolor but it seemed a bit flat to me. So I experimented using the Ha in the B channel, 0.2*Ha+0.8*OIII for the R and G channels. This resulted in a bluer image that I adjusted the hues on. I then combined the two images in PI’s pixelmath process using a 1.2 multiplier for the blue image. Further tweaking gave the result presented here. Hope you like it!
