I’m confused.. why would we expect some other image processing software to be better than Photoshop - a software package which has been the top of its class for ~30 years?

- clint 4y agoYes. https://esahubble.org/projects/fits_liberator/download_v23/ https://esahubble.org/projects/fits_liberator/download_v23/
- randyrand 4y agoBecause photoshop it not open source, not verifiable, and not documented on a scientific level about how its filters behave.
- Hadriel 4y agoEh, it's been pretty tested. Any person can easily apply filters and verify the change in image properties and see how filters behave.
- c048 4y agoWhy would they worry about that? These colored images aren't used for science, they're meant for marketing.

- MAGZine 4y agoThey're not doing science with photoshop. They're creating assets for consumption by the public.
- rdlw 4y ago> open source This is not a criterion of high quality software.
- creatonez 4y agoThe filters used are just simple compositions -- making monochrome images colored and adding them together, so that scientists can distinguish different types of gas and dust via color coding.
