Description

Very excited to have such clean data with which to process.  Processing is my normal sequence of noise reduction via BlurX and Noise X separately on L and RGB.  The color was dimmer than I wanted so I used the "Color" stretch option in GHS.  Normally this results in perhaps too saturated color, but I thought it was OK in this case otherwise the blues did not come out.  I did separate the blues and yellows in 3DLUT also. 

People have been asking me technical questions about 3DLUT so here is the color manipulation.  It is pretty subtle but the color Axes are first aligned to manimize their separation (lower left corner); then. you find the blue with the cursor on the image and it shows up on the grid, which you then select and move in the desired direction (more blue).
