[PlayRaw] Milky Way over Geroldsee

First of all very nice image!

For my processing I didn’ care:

  • about noise
  • correct processing for good and scientifically correct star images
  • realistic brightness

Want I went for:

  • Maximum Impact :grin:

Processing:

  • Processed two versions in RT, one as is the other with an exposure compensation round about +3.5.
  • Imported both into gimp.
  • Used mainly the brighter exposure and only masked in the darker one on the tents and surroundings to tone down the lights a little.
  • Added contrast curve to only the sky.
  • Imported bak into RT to shift the yellows very slightly towards the oranges, for more color contrast.
    Done
