... While this preliminary set of reduced data will probably serve most of the immediate scientific needs, the final quality of the images and the accuracy of the photometry can be improved with some careful reprocessing. ... This will probably have a negligible effect on the noise in the combined images, but is something that might as well be done as long as the data are being reprocessed. ... In the reprocessed data, these objects will be masked before the images are combined. ...

... Image Quality of the VLT . Total Optical Control . First light for the ESO VLT unit telescope 1 occurred during the workshop. ... The image shown (Figure 1 ) here was obtained with the VLT on May 16, 1998, in red light (R band), i.e. while the mirror was still uncoated. ... In this diagram (FIgure 2), the measured image quality of the VLT UT1 astronomical images is plotted versus the ``seeing", as measured by the Seeing Monitor, a small telescope also located on top of the Paranal Mountain. ...

... This plug-in enables you to add various types of lighting effects to your (RGB) image. ... Directional light . ... Well, you get the idea :) The default settings for this light-type is [-0.5,-0.5,-1.0]. ... Higher values makes your image reflect a lot of light (appear lighter or more intense), while smaller values makes it appear more dull or matte. ... A value of 1.0 makes your image very shiny (bright high-lights) while smaller values makes you image less shiny, making the high-lights dimmer. ...
