I really like the silvery light blue on this one. Any tips on how you achieved that color? Mine galaxies typically end up with a much darker blue.
I use PIxinsigh, with the ArcsinhStretch tool. I do a light first stretch, this allows me to extract a good color saturation, then I apply a mask on the galaxy and work with the CurvesTransformation tool using the saturation curve. Regards
