More Color Schemes with Full Disk

[Ken Crawford]

Well, messing around today and wanted to really make the full disk look hot,"backlit", and the glow it deserves. This is still experimenting but I am starting to like were it is going. I am learning something new each time. Sorry about the low res but this is native with the 60mm.

As always, thanks for looking . . .

Nice image Ken. I like the color mapping.

I think you have to do a vertical flip of the image.

Hi Ken

that's a very fine scheme. I too like it in that direction

I like the colour too!

How do you achieve such a lovely blending of the surface and proms? I always get a black line?

Ahhh you win the prize for noticing hmy: I was hoping someone would notice the transitional blend. I did this by adjusting two different mask sizes and while also pushing the luminance vaules up closer to the edge so there is a more natural fall.

It is easier to show you vs write it out and I hope to put something together soon.

I am using this free webinar software to do several tutorials now. You should give it a try Ken. i think it is much easier than writing everything out. it just records your webcam image and your desktop while you work on the computer screen.

Thanks! I use Camtasia for my tutorial screen captures and I have the full Adobe production premium suite for full editing and compositing. These are the systems that I have learned but it is great to see some free stuff out there for people to use. This is the best why IMHO to share with people ideas and methods. Thanks for putting up that link;

It is just putting the time in as I am producing a CCDStack tutorial right now so solar stuff in next up.

Regards!

I was watching the sun a lot yesterday, (watching SDO images mostly, because of an interesting magnetogram), and this image looks just great to me! I love the 3-D effect.
