A brown mask
« on: 2018 April 05 00:30:21 »
Hi,

I notice in one of my images there is some faint brown nebulosity that I would like to enhance.  When using "RangeSelection" I get the brown and red and blue nebulosity.  Using "ColorMask" I get all the other colors but no brown.  Is there a way to mix colors to produce brown/orange/pink masks or somehow isolate these different colors?

Using the Color Mask is the easy way of doing this. First you need to change the cursor Readout Data to show *h hue. Then you can you move the cursor over the area your interested in noting the range of hue. This is your Start and End Hue settings in the Color Mask.
