Hi Mark,

I didn't save the tweak of your image that I posted in early November. This image appears to be have too much contrast and blown out white levels. It is also very low resolution for some reason, as if you'd shot it with the pixels binned? It doesn't look as bad if you reduce it to 50%, but of course, why would you want to do that?

best,

Alan

Hi Milton, 

I wasn`t being rude I was just wondering if Alan`s re-done version of one of my original stacks which he posted freely here had the same grainy texture in your opinion. I assume the original stacks are alright & that the graininess was introduced by me after doing the mosaic. With the saved version of the mosaic I have I did notice when it`s zoomed in Astro IIDC`s processing window it`s not very pretty!

Mark.

You didn`t refer to my question along the way as to whether in Alan`s resurrected image made from one of mine he`d removed the graininess?

Why not ask him how he did it.

Was this because his alterations were done in the (foreign to you) app. Photoshop?I w! as having trouble with PS until recently where it wouldn`t let me back track if I made 2 steps 

Ask him, I'm not clairvoyant.

Later..
