New processing. And indeed - the rotated image looks much more interesting.

Cool! I would tone down the brightness of the galaxy itself a bit, and more details would appear as well.
Impressive image

Yes, I slightly overdid the brightness. I wanted to show that it has a bulge and to bring out the neighboring spiral galaxy.

Should we redo the processing from the beginning? )

For what purpose?

The stars are a disaster, completely crushed, the background is blown out and actually looks blotchy, plus there's overall softness from the plugins—it creates a first impression of detail, but there isn't any. And as mentioned above, the contrast is an issue. I'm saying this with the best intentions—the photo has potential.

Evgeny, I've only been working in PI for half a year and am still learning. I can provide the raw source file for you to process and show how you think it should look.

I don't work on Pixlr. I'd be grateful for the original file—there's a link to VK in my profile. Or you can reach me at osharov.e.a@yandex.ru.
