A while ago, Marsrocks, regarding a pic I had enhanced for Ken, inquired " how is this done .. the imaging process you did? " This took me aback somewhat, as I had never actually kept track of the numerous processes, as this aspect had become quite automatic over the years. Best I could do then, was to give a background picture to the production of reasonably improved pics, and that I would give a fuller account, best I could, in some future postings.
I am going to begin then, to offer my best thoughts, techniques, programs used, and example obtainable results to this science .. and art. I wish to share this information so that other researchers will have some additional tools and, I feel, a leading-edge grasp on the efforts required and results obtainable from those gleanings accumulated, and used with some modest success, over these many years.
One caveat or condition here however. I do not have much education, so do not expect any sixteen-letter Latin sounding words and catch phrases here, I am not ' scientific ' or even computer savvy to any degree. It is an accumulated amount of trial and error, of common sense .. and accurate intuitive decisions from years of study and, in my own way ' research ' .. that is to be passed on to you here. Much you may know, but some may be of interest, even surprisingly useful to your research subjects, and this is what I will hope and strive for in this, hopefully, collective enhancement to us all.
I feel I owe Marsrocks an explanation, and a good one, and apologize if I initially seemed vague or flippant in answer .. as I did not mean it so. But .. hope this will help all get up to speed and enabled with these various aids and directional information. There is a certain dearth of new hunters nowadays, perhaps it was a passing fad. But I feel that one good researcher is worth a dozen week-end warriors, wanna-be's and pretenders, and it is to these sincere and promising hunters that this effort series will be aimed. Cheers /-M
