Behind the image

Exploring colour in Cygnus Loop.

Follow the same stars and clouds across two colour treatments of my Cygnus Loop photograph.

The TIFF was rotated to match the gallery image. Its green-and-blue colours were retained, with no additional brightness stretch.

A small record of learning: exploring how colour and contrast change the feeling of a photograph.
