It was only a quick and dirty version of Richard Konrad's work flow (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNidlGR ... e=youtu.be and
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPoJ-lM ... e=youtu.be) and I missed a few steps along the way; masking could definitely be improved and so could decon and sharpen, but here is the logfile (it's too big with the masks and the board doesn't allow text files, so you will have to work at masking the nebula before the first Life module):
