From time to time, Warren or Ron demonstrates a complete workflow from beginning to end. The other instructor monitors the chat box and answers questions on-the-fly. This allows participants to see the entire post-processing workflow from beginning to end, learning how Warren and Ron use various processes, scripts, masks and settings in context.
About the Workshop
M101 lies off the handle of the Big Dipper. This beautiful grand-design spiral galaxy is well placed in the northern sky all night long in late spring and early summer. In this workshop Ron will blend luminance- and Ha-filtered masters from his mono camera and 6” scope with one-shot color data from his 4” refractor to capture the essence of this object. This workshop will include demos of some recent enhancements to PI and the latest add-ons, including NoiseXterminator.
WHAT YOU’LL GET
Seasoned image processors will pick up new ideas and techniques to expand their tool kit and improve their results.
