Description

It was during a comment by my friend Henning Schmidt about the color of one of Jupiter's cloud bands that I came up with the idea of better working on all the colors of this gas giant. 
Color reproduction, especially with Jupiter, is made more difficult when the planet is around 30° elevation. There is therefore a loss of information, which is also due to the use of filters, especially IR, necessary however to restore the details. 
But, since Jupiter has clearly identifiable cloud areas, it is possible with the tools of the Photoshop software to treat each of them separately, with for example color masks and the layers function.
It is a delicate and long work, since by successive tests but the result seems interesting to me.
Well, I was able to enjoy a good seeing on October 17th. The image shows in particular a beautiful GRS and an amazing cloud circulation nearby.
