It was denoise, oddly I have seen some discussion on whether it’s fair (ethical) to use this on images without mentioning it. Surely it is just an additional process (in one of many…).Juno16 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 11:59 am Nice images Tony!
Congratulations on the apod.
The Startools process is much better to me. Of course, as you know, there is an almost infinite number of variables in processing. Maybe even a 2x infinite amount in PI!
I have trouble duplicating the same process twice!
The bottom line is that the more that you fiddle with processes and re-processes, the more that you learn. The learning is also infinite too!
This hobby is so cool because of the many variations and learnings! Definitely a hobby for life! I really wish that I had started earlier than my 60’s, but it’s never too late!
I noticed that you are using Topaz AI. Which product? I recently purchased Denoise and it is amazing.
Very nice images and thanks for the comparison.

I agree totally on the learn - relearn process; good to keep our minds active in ‘retirement’
