That, Rowland, is a spectacular from your dual arm drive. I can't wait to see how you built it!

Hi Mario, I know things have changed a little form StarTools 1.2. But the cool thing is that in 1.3, screen stretch is no longer needed! The reason for this is that, in 1.3, there is no distinction any more between stretched (non-linear) and unstretched (linear) data - it is completely abstracted aw...

Hi all,

We now have 6 video tutorials up on YouTube.

You can access them through the StarTools YouTube channel.

Thanks for letting me know Tim. What is the resolution of the images you are processing?

You should add in the manual some encouragement to save often, if it's not included already. Unfortunately, saving does not save the Tracking state while Tracking is active - it merely saves the current state of the image. This 'problem' ties in with the same reason for not having multiple undo ste...

This is one of them and I thank you for finding this lit...

Hi Gustavo, I hear you. The end-goal for StarTools' Tracking feature is to make every operation sequence independent, just like the global stretch is now (i.e. you can redo it at any time). 1.3 provides just a small glimpse of what's possible, but the end-game is much bigger. Once this has been acco...

Thanks for your reply, What I meant is, if I want to make an image "dimmer" what would be the procedure? Then the Develop module's Gamma parameter would be your weapon of choice. A gamma value that is smaller than 1.0 will dim the image. A gamma that is larger than 1.0 brightens the image. http://e...
