I'm currently working on a new(?) technique to process HOO images and need somebody to tell me if it's actually making a difference ;)
What I'm trying to achieve is a more rich image and better differentiation in the highlights. That's why I'm shifting the red highlights into a yellow, the blue into an "electric" blue.
I think that makes it easier to spot details in the bright areas - but does it really?
Bot images are from the same (stretched) Ha and Oiii dataset with only a channel combination and some Oiii boost applied.
@XF9 While it may stand out bit more and create perception that there are more details, I personally prefer image on the right, as yellow color on the left looks weird to my taste, but that's personal preference. The difference of colors bringing viewer on to those details that's why perception that you get more details is there, amount is possibly the same but it's hard to distinguish red from pink compared to red from yellow.
@sergey thank you for your input :)
Indeed, the amount of details is the same in both images. Everything you see in one image is also there in the other one. I just wanted to empathise the highlights to make details there easier to perceive.
I was asking for opinions because I'm not quite sure if it's actually working or if it's just working for me because I want it to :)
