Each version has improved compared with the previous one, but the change from the old Color Module (with just one saturation slider) to the new one (with 3 of them) has left me a bit bothered.

Hello, Previously, I was able to open my stacked FITS files obtained from Nebulosity directly into Startools. They were taken with a OSC camera, and reconstructed, aligned and stacked in Nebulosity. However, when I open them in Startools, they show up as mono images. This issue appeared in the most ...

Hello, Usually, after developing a linear image, I went to the Contrast module to try to lower the sky brightness a bit.

It is possible make more than one "undo" operation? After several processings, I noticed that sharpening created artifacts around my stars, but it was some time before. I could not undo back to before the sharpening operation.
