In short, the secret is to shoot luminance data with your LP filter in place, and shoot some RGB data (doesn't have to be too deep and can be added to your luminance) without the LP filter in place. Removing LP from the RGB data is trivial (Wipe will eat it for breakfast). Process luminance and RGB (lightly) separately and combine them later to obtain an image that has the best of both worlds; deep detail and correct colouring!AndyBooth wrote: And yes, please tell me how to mange colours when using LP filter, I have no choice but use it where I live!

Fantastic work Andy! It's now much easier to discern all the cool/interesting processes and stuff that's going on, simply by looking at the colouring. Love it!
