NGC7822 bicolor (v2) first pixinsight image!

#1

Post by Micke187 »


So with the step over to Pixinsight from Photoshop and after watching numourus tutorials later i finally after some hours of post-processing i have the first image processed only using Pixinsight.
I had some hickups along the way but i dont think it will be that hard to get a grip on as i first thought.
here is the result ive got.
hope you like it!

Truly impressive image. If you hadn't told us you were new to Pixinsight, nobody would have know! Beautiful colors, and, your treatment of noise left all the details nice and sharp. Exceptional, almost unbelievable for your first PI image. Well done, and, congratulations.

Cheers,
Steve

Thanks for the Apod! Much appreciated! :)
Well if i havnt had the help from the Youtube tutorials i would definitley be lost forever so those tutorials is a realy helpful. But i dont think it will be that hard to learn the more complicated tools maybe even easier actually. And also the layout and workspace is alot better then in PS imo. Just need to make a favourite toolkit or otherwise it will be very confusing when choosing from all the tools there are.

Same here! I do have nebulosity3 to make some final adjustments if i need to. Thats a very simple program so you can make adjustments very Quick. The downside of that program it crashed very easily.

Well all im saying it was actually quite easy to get into. So with learning alot from Photoshop thats why i think Pixinsight is so easy for me. Thats the only thing i can think of anyway.
And also in the past i had a real bad habit of over-processing images and mine also looked like they could come from kindergarten :D
