I didn't like the acidic colors of my North America. Then GraXpert released a new version with deconvolution. Anyway, I got the urge to redo it. Purists might criticize the too blue background tone, but in the context of the whole picture, I like it. And I highly recommend GraXpert v3.1, they made a good attempt to reach the level of the paid BlurXterminator. By the way, the next version of Siril will have full integration with them ) I'm really looking forward to it.
