Lunar landscape



I have revisited an image / mosaic of the Appennine mountain region after having it professionally printed. What appears on the the screen is not always the same as the printed result. I will have to have this one reprinted soon and look foward to seeing the difference.
Several layer masks and soft light blend modes have increased contrast. Layered sharpening has also allowed the mountains to become sharper whilst leaving the lava plains alone.

Without doubt my favourite area on the lunar surface. The more lunar savvy will spot the landing location of Apollo 15 at Hadley Rille. A previous post does mark the landing site.
If you have never tried this have a go. I recently hooked up the laptop to our big tv. I was stunned at seeing the image so large and lifelike.
