Okay, story time.

Since Space Engine is just generating amazing views instantly, I was always tempted to use it as skybox creator. Let's be honest, good skybox can made even worst map looking spectacular. I was so happy when I saw that Space Engine can generate skyboxes so easily, but soon came dissapointment. When I was picking my jaw from the ground after discovering that spectacular location, I saw what exporter did to my dream. Results weren't even close to perfection, especially when dealing with planet surfaces and atmosphere. Here is my tragic example.

Original view:

Exported view:

I know that using skybox exporter cuts out bloom and other post-processing, but is there any way to make those pics any closer to what we see in SE? Even exporter preview shows something different from real results (which is just as frustrating as it could be wink ). Colors are different, mood is off, even sky has a rough time. I've tried to do something in gimp, by adding glow-ish effect and changing brightness/contrast, but it still kinda sucks and fixing it this way might be beyond my capabilities, and to be completely honest – when comparing to SE view, difference was just overwhelming. Maybe there is some way to implement a script, which could take screenshots, following same axis and with 90 degrees step? Hit me with ideas, solution, whatever - any help would be highly appreciated!
