Official StarTools support forum

Hi Ivo,

Created the file, and upon startup Startools 456 does say something different from build 455 (but still talks about a GPU).
I can confirm it doesn't use the GPU anymore though! So thanks for the super fast fix

If it is indeed caused by an underpowered GPU, then, sadly, the only remedy I have for you right now, is to use a different operating system (Linux or Windows). I will make sure, however, to provide a CPU-based version for macOS as well (as is the case for Linux and Windows). Hi Ivo, just a gentle ...

just wanted to mention I'm getting the same sudden crashes on my Windows 10 x64 Pro machine, (NUC8i5BEK2, i5-8259U CPU, 16GB RAM, integrated Iris Plus Graphics 655 GPU), running Startools-x64-GPU 1.7.440 For underpowered GPUs on Windows, you will want to read (and implement) this . Thanks Ivo, I ju...

Hi Ivo, just wanted to mention I'm getting the same sudden crashes on my Windows 10 x64 Pro machine, (NUC8i5BEK2, i5-8259U CPU, 16GB RAM, integrated Iris Plus Graphics 655 GPU), running Startools-x64-GPU 1.7.440 I'm not that familiar with Windows so I don't really know where to look for the Startool...

Thanks Ivo, Among the options you listed, the one that kind of worked for me was to run the Color module a second time (after the base color balance) with a mask using "select similar color". It's a bit of hit or miss because you never know how restrictive it is in selecting pixels that belong to a ...

Thanks Ivo, I appreciate your taking the time to look into my issue. My Mac is pretty old (it used to be correctly speced, but that was in 2013 :mrgreen: ) MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) CPU 2,3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 RAM 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Internal GPU: Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB Discre...

Hi Ivo, I don't know if there's a better place for bug/crash reports. Using 1.7.440 alpha on my Mac, I see repeated crashes (quite similar to the one I've reported lately, "Graphics hardware encountered an error and was reset: 0x0000002b"). Startools crashes in the middle of a task, it can be the Co...

Hi all, Is there a way to achieve something akin to Photoshop's "selective color" in Startools? While Startools isn't a general purpose photo editor, there are cases where I'd want to slightly alter the colors it yields. In some cases, you can even tell if a picture was processed by Startools, becau...

Unfortunately not. It would be too easy
I've processed a couple FITS since then, with no crash whatsoever. So I guess it was a random crash, maybe due to the nVidia driver itself (hard to say).

Hi Ivo, oddly enough my MacBook Pro has two GPUs, the crappy built-in Intel Iris Pro, and a (crappy now, but decent when I bought it) nVidia GT750M. I can see that Startools is indeed using the nVidia one with most modules (see the effect of Wipe, for instance) so I wonder why the Intel GPU crashed ...
