First Processing ala Martin + Re-tuned Quark

Post by Starry Jack »

I finally gave Martin's processing techniques a try and learned that I have a lot to learn. But I do like the results better than anything I have done in the past!!

This is also with my re-tuned Quark which I had sent back to Daystar. I have determined that the best position for both Prom and Chromosphere is Negative 5, in my artisitic taste anyway.

Thanks for looking.

Jack, those look great! I think you have a winning combination, re-tuned Quark and processing.

You might consider jpeg compression instead of png to cut down on loading time and storage.

Thanks, Phil.
OK...I swapped out the images with JPGs. Much better.

Hi Jack

Really good result. It looks to me like you have a good Quark there now.
