So I thought y'all might appreciate this... or something... Actually, I think I might have posted this somewhere on WC before.. However I've made a few minor changes tonight when I came across the psd file onto my computer. I really liked the image in the first place, so I thought it woudln't hurt to fix it, if not for anyone than at least for myself.
This came about from an old series involving a bunch of images taken by the hubble space telescope. This was the last one that I completed of the series, in 2001, and then updated in 2002.

Heres a smaller image of it and a detail for now

ps. I tried fixing the images to make them brighter. upped the contrast

hehe thanx y'all :d Sorry the image is dark as hell - that seams to happen when I upload things! I should probably clue in sometime and start saving my images brighter or lighter lol

Axl, it may be a setting in your image software causing the darkness. Check this thread out:
