Sorry Joe, do you mean the link above is not working - so I've just fixed it.

Or is it more that you are not sure how to approach the challenge?

Really looking forward to seeing other processes of this data!

It will really show where my skills are lacking, acquisition, or processing (or both!).
I processed this in my early days of Pixinsight and processed the RGB and duoband (L-eNhance data separately and blended using Pixelmath.
I really need to revisit it myself and separate the color channels replacing the red in the RGB image with the red in the L-eNhance data.
BUT, I just started a bathroom remodel (still in the demo stage), and I know much less about construction/remodeling than AP!
It’s my wife’s bathroom and my main goal is to get er done, but I am no pro at this, so my hobby is on the back burner for awhile.

It will be real interesting to see different processing techniques, software, and what “looks” people come up with.

Thanks and good luck!
Jim
