Re: Workflow to increase OIII in duo band images

Hi Mike, Another approach I discovered is to use the Filter module to bring out OIII color. (It is amazing to me the tools I am finding available in StarTools). I masked the area where OIII is expected and masked the stars out of that area. Probably could ...

Re: Astro to Astro-art Continuum, 2024 Edition

... the scales do not operate This is exactly the point I overlooked. A graphic equalizer covers the whole audible frequency spectrum whereas ST Sharp module leaves the lower spatial frequencies untouched and starts at a distinct detail level which we select on screen one. And this is also exactly ...

... on what's happening. Especially, since we now know, that our eye and brain are fooling us sometimes. I'm looking forward to check out the Contrast module. At a first glance, I suspect, the 'Locality' slider is not (just) what it looks like ;-) So, I gauss that blurring is smarter than I thought ...

Re: Astro to Astro-art Continuum, 2024 Edition

... essentially a correction using the intrinsic data available and not just more or less an enhancement of the image. I'm not sure. Yes, ST's Sharp module uses the intrinsic data, but I suppose, the described acutance sharpening algorithms do just the same. And in both cases I think, 'enhancement' ...

Re: Astro to Astro-art Continuum, 2024 Edition

... only was to demonstrate the functionality of the tool. (What is UM?) We have to think on how input images have to look like. So which specific ST module/function we want to evaluate and what might be an appropiate input pattern in this case? My intention was to simplify things by using simple ...

Re: Astro to Astro-art Continuum, 2024 Edition

If you see that electric glow around objects, then it is just applied too much, Mike. You can see that if you apply the flux module also... Unsharp mask can do great things but it is always a balancing act. But i think that counts for just about every processing too. And someimes , it ...

Re: Astro to Astro-art Continuum, 2024 Edition

... the discussion about Unsharp Mask, (local) Contrast Enhancement and Wavelet Sharpening, here are my thoughts about the related StarTool’s modules: Yes, I’d say it is right to put Sharp, Contrast and HDR modules together in one category. As I tried to write down in Freddy’s thread, I assume ...
