Description

I recently oriented the camera on the edge at 90 degrees for a different project and these three fit so well in the frame I had to do it.  This is the first time I've used GHS to stretch an image from linear.  I'd normally use EZ soft stretch and tweak with Curves/Arcsinh/GHS but this time I wanted to buckle down and actually figure out how to use this tool since I've seen so many others get great results from it.  I like the sort of 'airy' look it gives and the softer stars.
