Thanks for that, Stu.
I couldn't get any closer to the tree in "3", as this is a part of the Army live firing range & there are lots of warnings "do not leave the carriageway, unexploded military debris"..........

How's this for a re-work of "4" ?

Thinking back, I think I over-cooked those others with the ring patterns by, after going with"convert to b&w"
I ticked "auto levels", then went onto "adjust lighting/levels."
Which was just too much processing, hence the rings.

Thanks for all your interest & help,

Roger.

Thanks all for the above.

Could be, Jak. I've tried other routes in Elements but it's still there, to a greater or lesser degree.

Newton's Rings as in slide glasses, John? Would that not have to be on the final image plane, the sensor? It's not on the jpeg before processing....
Sun was over to the right /behind me.
Sorry, don't understand about the AA filter simulator.....?
Over-adjustment of levels is a possibility.

The IR has, indeed, been overdone in the image here. As I said in my post it was "processed to be the worst / show the most" for clarity, ignoring other aspects of pp of the image overall.

Aliens & fingerprints notwithstanding, I have a plan:

Soon as it's sunny, take a shot or two in RAW+. so I have two frames exactly the same (as it were), process them, one as a Raw, one as the jpeg, see what happens, any differences.

Will keep you posted!

Thanks again for the interest shown,

Roger.

Could anyone please shed some light on what's going on here?

In Elements 11, when processing IR images, on converting to mono, these concentric rings appear, top-left of frame.
They seem to be present in most images but their presence seems to be dependant on the tone of the top-left quadrant.
I've processed this to be the worst / show the most.

Any advice would be most welcome.

Roger.
