Mask used for colour boosting

 

The Colour of the Moon image below consists of three separate parts (see above); the colour image, the luminance image and a mask used in the colour boosting process. Click on each of these to view how they where obtained.

Below is the final image in which the above images has been combined followed by some final touches. Click on the image below to view the final steps.

The final image can also be viewed here.

The image is actually a mosaic of two images and to save me some work the first steps (done in PixInsight) is shown only for one of the mosaic images, i.e. half of the moon. The two halves was merged in PhotoShop.
