Mask creating spurious single pixels
Posted: Thu May 10, 2018 9:45 pm
When I use Mask / Auto / Stars to create a mask, there are a large number of spurious single pixels which appear. These pixels don't seem to have much to do with the image -- they don't look like they're appearing on noise peaks.
Please see the attached video. I'm switching between Shrink and Undo to make the spurious pixels disappear and reappear. You can also see that there are clearly some faint stars which Mask should be picking up. So it is missing stars and creating many spurious pixels.
I've tried a variety of settings in Mask with little effect. I have v1.3.5.289. Please let me know if there's something I'm doing wrong.
