What is it?

[Shadowman]

John, could you tell me how the images were processed?

Reason I ask is that while I was resizing the image of the mystery object, I grabbed the
background to relocate the image on the screen, and the "mystery object" fell right off it's
background...



Checked the Moon image, same thing happened there. Now, I am new to processing
images, but wouldn't the "central object" be an integrated component of the background
present at the time the image was taken?

Mike,

I used Photoshop Elements 8.

My usual steps are to:

1. Make a copy of the original and open up in Camera RAW.
2. Zoom to 100%
3. Increase clarity, vibrance, contrast.
4. Open image and do addtional variations before cropping.

This image had no cropping and very little editing, although still in jpeg format.
