Music usually fires me up when all else fails.

Crank this one up! :rocknod

yea, music sometimes brings me out of a dull moment too. but it doesn't work sometimes. at times working on a painting helps. but right now i have put all my work on the back burner. just don't have the desire to do any thing right now.

Christmas can be a hard time for some. I wish you all the best and I hope you get through it OK. Music, Gimp, Gimp Chat, whatever you can do to distract yourself.

I think it's time to wonder!
You know those beautiful pictures from outer space?
They are black and white.
Do you know why you see them in color?
prokoudine, provided a hint.

In fact, the request for better FITS support in GIMP came from Joseph
DePasquale, a science imager at Smithsonian astrophysical observatory,
member of the Chandra team. Joseph maintains a series of FITS
processing tutorials
(http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/openFITS/casa.html) involving GIMP
and G’MIC.

This tutorial was interesting to try because I had no experience with FITS files. I'd give it a go if you get a chance (20 min). One change in the tutorial, G'MIC | Repair | Smooth [anisotropic].
Merry Christmas, rdgracer71. :bigthup
