Description

This month we received the AI4 version of the beloved BlurXterminator process, so I decided to go back to some of my old images and try it out. It turns out that, beyond BX, my whole workflow has changed completely from 2 years ago, as well as my approach to post-processing.

And I'm glad it did! Because that means I still have so much to learn and improve, so that when I get back to these same files 2 yeras from now, I can still  be shocked by the differences.

This is a reprocess, from zero, of the same raw data used to produce the following images, from Aug'22 and Nov'22 respectively:
