Patrick,
I have two questions (and that's before I tried the technique)
.
You suggest changing from 8 bit to 16 bit mode so as not to lose histogram quality. I've always been under the impression that changing from 8 bit to 16 bit mode does nothing for the quality of the image. But you didn't say it did. You said it has to do with quality of the histogram. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this because I wouldn't be interested in what the histogram looks like if it doesn't affect the image. The other question is that you recommend using 1/200 X resolution as a starting point for the high pass setting. Your example shows a 1.5 pixel radius. Isn't that 1/100 of the (150) resolution, and wouldn't 1/200 be .75 pixel radius?
Thanks,
Ed
