Yes, I had adjusted them for exposure, contrast etc. My processing s/w (DarkTable) made it look OK on the screen, but each time I process using it I am less than satisfied with what ends up appearing on the LUG pages. I preferred PSE where I had greater flexibility, but my chosen platform (Linux) doesn't support PSE (rather it's the other way round with Adobe refusing to support Linux)* Ideally I would like to get Silver Halide levels of rendition, but... (I would settle for Platinum ;-) ) Seriously this is an area where I think that the Monochroms excel. Shame I don't have one! As for the rest of the photos, no I wasn't happy but thought that I would put it up anyway. thanks for the comments, They are MUCH appreciated. Peter * I run Linux because it is the platform that I use for compute-intensive work such as astronomcal data analysis.
