Gradient removal on Solar disk images

[Photosbykev]

No problem Kev!

You need to create a new image, same size of your solar image, grayscale. To do this: CTRL + N in Windows, or menu Process > Image > NewImage.

Apply the icon process in this new image to create your mask, and apply this as a mask in your solar image (you can drag and drop the mask over the vertical identifier of the target image) Then, you can adjusdt mask properties (from PM process) and see the changes (with 'Show Mask' option enabled, see mask toolbar)

(apologies for the probable errors in my english )

Thank you Enzo I'll keep on playing and there is nothing wrong with your English

I did have a play with DBE and I'm fairly pleased with the first result I've got from it. The detail is a bit coarse at the moment but with some fine tuning I think it might be the way forward.

Nice work Kev, I am glad to help. Your pictures are really good!

OK, I played (think Harry Potter in first year at Hogwart, 5 times as many scars, no glasses and a broken wand) with the raw image. Debayer, 2 ABE, and HDRWavelet transform. The edge of the Sun get messed up but the inside... reveals quite a lot.
