Ok so you guys know I'm new at this. When I first process my photos, I try to squeeze out as much color and detail as possible. Then, I'll go back the next day and it looks totally over-processed. Sometimes almost cartoonish!

So a couple of my questions are these:

How do you know when to stop with the processing?

How do I know when I have achieved accurate colors of what I'm shooting?

I'm currently only using my camera's software to process, which seems to work…

Another shot from beautiful Portland, OR.  Bortle 8 sky.

This time using using Ha as Luminance.

Enjoy this shot of the Eastern Veil...

Ha: 110min.

Luminance: 60min.

Red: 30min.

Green: 30min.

Blue: 30min.

Forgive the shameless commercial pitch, but I've just printed 100 copies of a calendar and need to get the word out if I'm going to sell enough to cover the cost. For more information see: http://wa-chur-ed.com/Calendar.html

Thanks,
