Description

The journey through my first Galaxy Season continues.  Finally happy with the post-processing flow for these broadband galaxy targets.  The flow is roughly:
  1. Linear fit R, G, B
  2. RGB Combine
  3. Extract L
  4. DBE/GraXpert
  5. SPCC (color calibration)
  6. Soft stretch
  7. LRGB Combine
  8. GHS
  9. Curves

I'm not totally sure that the synthetic Luminance is necessary, but I like the results.
