James Webb first images – complete set of high resolution shots now live
Watching the livestream i was more than surprised, that color correction actually happens in Photoshop.<p>Also, there seem to be multiple layer-masks involved for specific regions and objects.<p>I get that you can shift and composite color, based on hue, apply filters etc, but: Photoshop?<p>Curious if anyone can explain, that what we see is actual science or some touched up version of objects in our universe.<p>p.s.: What struck me the most is the absence of noise, especially for the deep field photo. Hubble took many exposures over weeks, which normally would allow for reliable reduction of noise, webb took some shots over the course of hours and there’s hardly any noise to see. Weirdest part is seeing them just “healing brushing” away some dots - how is the decision process on altering images like that?<p>(edit for typos)
