One focused comparison: original Gold Mid vs new warmer hybrid with natural gray C ring. The third option is gentle conventional noise cleanup. All are from the same 624 × 264 native source pixels; no resizing or automatic alignment.
The hybrid's globe uses the saved warm Gold Mid / Richer Gold RegiStax-Control versions with only a 15% mix of bilateral luminance denoising. The rings use the genuine softer -35% / -20% RegiStax sources and preserve faint gray inner-ring gradations. No Topaz was applied. The result remains an interpretive composite, not proof of planetary features.
