Use MaxIM DL to do a Non-Linear Stretch (DDP) on the Luminance Frame, with DDP parameters:- Background = 4200
- Mid-Level = 5400
- 1.00 - Red
- 1.20 - Green
- 1.20 - Blue
Note that I have checked the Bgd Auto Equalize button. - Background = 1000
- Mid-Level = 1300
(magnified to 100% viewing level)
First, create an Inverted Layer Mask for the image.
- Menu selection Image | Adjustments | Levels or keyboard-shortcut Ctrl-L
Change the Input Levels in the Levels dialog box to 100, 1.0, 235. The 100 darkens the darker areas, while the 235 lightens the lighter areas. These parameters, of course, can be chosen to obtain the desired effect.
- Menu selection Filter | Blur | Gaussian Blur (no keyboard-shortcut)
Use a blur radius of about 1 or 2 (2 was used here).
- Menu selection Filter | Blur | Gaussian Blur (no keyboard-shortcut)
Use a blur radius of 3.
