Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the evaluation of Photoshop images of an imaginary nebula created by the original poster. Participants provide feedback on the visual aspects of the images and suggest resources for improvement.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests using Google image search to find examples of real nebulae for comparison.
  • Another participant critiques the original images, noting that the cloud filter appears too visible and lacks smoothness.
  • This participant also expresses concern that the color mixing in the images does not resemble any known nebulae.
  • Additionally, they point out the absence of shadows in the images, which are typically present in nebulae.
  • A different participant shares a link to another thread with nebulae pictures, implying that it may provide useful references.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the quality of the images or the best approach for improvement. There are differing opinions on the effectiveness of the original poster's work and the suggestions provided.

Contextual Notes

Some critiques depend on subjective interpretations of nebulae aesthetics, and there may be unresolved issues regarding the technical execution of the images.

Who May Find This Useful

I need someone who knows what nebulae look like well to look at these photoshop images I have made of an imaginary nebula to see what could improve them.

You don't need anyone here to tell you, simply do a google image search for Nebula and it will show hundreds of photos of different nebulas to look at and compare. The images from the Hubble Space Telescope are simply amazing.
 


As he mentioned above, go google.

But a quick look at your image created something comments I have to reply with.

1. Your cloud filter in photoshop is way to visible, it doesn't look directly smooth so you have a lot of editing and smoothness to fix (get better at).
2. I do BELIEVE (not sure in other words) that you have mixed up way too much colours. It doesn't look like a Nebulae (for me) with this huge setup of different colours since I've never seen anything like it before.
3. Clouds in nebulae very often cast shadows on other clouds. In your images I see the following numbers of shadows = zero.

Anyway, keep on train and you'll eventually get better. But the best tip, USE GOOGLE.

Regards, Robin Andersson.
