Abstract

HDRMultiscaleTransform (HDRMT) is found in the Process menu’s Wavelets, and MultiscaleProcessing submenus. HDRMT is nothing short of miraculous, and instantly develops core detail by compressing the dynamic range of an image. HDRMT isn’t appropriate for all objects, and is best suited to images that contain galaxies with bright nuclei, or for the bright cores of globular clusters, and some nebulae.
