Description: Lately I have had some issues with my nebula processing touch. I often opt for bright view but end up overscretching and reducing contrast. Pelican nebula was a prime example of that issue. In the new version I focused on keeping the bright areas shining and leaving other areas dimmer. I guess that's called contrast
