Re: slider brightness is very bright

Hi
Yes. Agreed. The brighter the object being processed, the less obvious the sliders become. A workaround I use is to blu-tak some grease proof paper over the bottom bit of the screen to prevent the glare.
Cheers and thanks for your reply.

slider brightness is very bright

Re: StarTools 1.9 Beta

Hi Steve, dunno where it comes from, but as a workaround you can try to undo the damage in the affected stars by selecting them in mask and use the 'undo fg' in the Layer module. Or blur them in the Layer module (which also can be done with an already finished image). BTW: This appears to be a star...

Re: StarTools 1.9 Beta

Hi Steve & Stefan, I just thought I had some kind of déjà vu :lol: . You reported this issue before, Steve: https://forum.startools.org/viewtopic.php?p=14916#p14916 I’m still wondering, if this is an ST related problem or if it lies within your data set? Dunno. :confusion-shrug: No one else reporte...

Any ideas/workarounds?
TIA,
Steve

**EDIT: It looks like it's present after the first OptiDev, just not as pronounced. HDR makes it more visible.

Re: StarTools 1.9 Beta

ringing around scattered super tiny stars against nebulosity. Hi Problem I've noticed that too. Have you found a workaround or set of values (maybe in shrink?) to offset the ringing? This is an example. Yes, it's enlarged beyond normal but it shows the effect I think you're describing; small stars ...

Re: StarTools 1.9 Beta

All, thanks so much for your interest and tips.
I suppose the moral of the story is to just go easy with the HDR. In fact, just go easy!

Re: StarTools 1.9 Beta

Hi and thanks for the tip. Lower shadow detail does indeed mitigate the effect. I suppose that in the end, it's only a few pixels in a few stars to correct so NP in painting manually.
