To load Ha and Oiii into compose, I usually blend the two together 50/50, using it as the luminance - then Ha goes to R, Oiii goes to both green and blue. Is there another way to do it? I'm wondering about leaving L blank, then Ha to R, Oiii to G, and Oiii to blue but "not set" so Ha and Oiii are eq...

Upon masking a bright star(s). The starsynth module creates odd boxes around the brighter stars. I am using the reflector preset. Thanks. Picture attached.

Hi Ivo

I don't seem to be getting the effect I was looking for with the reveal module in my image. I should try it with a galaxy rather than the nebula (Rho ophiuchi). I'll take your word as creator that it's the same as reveal core. Thanks for your amazing work. Im really admiring 1.8.

Just to put in my 2 cents worth, personally picking the right target is important as there should be at least a certain portion of Oiii there. Two examples are the Rosette nebula https://flic.kr/p/2jMt7rs which has some but not a lot of Oiii and M42 https://flic.kr/p/2mE2yVT Generally, I usually pus...

I'm not having much success no matter how I adjust the settings. Ivo - would have a recommended setting under reveal that corresponds with reveal core? Thanks. Richard

The new feature is excellent! Here a link to a lrgb version of my target https://www.flickr.com/gp/rkonrad/41sdp0 and Halrg with nbaccent https://www.flickr.com/gp/rkonrad/633vL1. These are not my final versions as I have more work to do.

I just realized there is a NBaccents slot in compose for me to insert my ha data. I will try it!

Richard

I will certainly try that. Thanks Jochen

I love the enhancements and improvements in the new startools version. I'm struggling a bit with the hdr - reveal function. I'm trying to get it to work as "reveal core" in the earlier versions. Ivo (or others), what settings in the module should I adjust to get what I want.

Thanks Richard

I think this topic has been mentioned before but I don't recall a solution - sorry if I missed it. I have seen so many amazing images of halrgb online but I have never been successful in my processing. This is what I have tried: 1. I have mixed (at the linear level) Ha with L in a variety of percent...
