Official StarTools support forum

Tested on Yosemite and Mountain Lion. As I said, on Mountain Lion if StarTools is in my Downloads it cannot save at all. If it is elsewhere, or if I try on Yosemite it can only replace the original file, whatever you enter in the field. I thought it was saving at "untitled.tiff" but I had opened a f...

I am new to StarTools, but after processing a handful of images I must say that this feature request is probably the most urgent in my opinion. What I am doing currently is taking a screenshot of the preview window with settings at a specific level, then try changing the settings and open the screen...

You could add some debugging output to that "unsupported" dialogue and have me run it to give you feedback. And now for some more strangeness. I tried moving the StarTools folder in case it changes something. It was in /Users/dkechag/Downloads/StarTools/ and I moved it to /Volumes/scratch/StarTools/...

Nope, I can't save anywhere...
The problem is only with 1.4. Version 1.3 works properly. Even if I don't enter an extension, 1.3 asks me whether I would like to save to TIFF instead. 1.4 gives only the unhelpful "unsupported" message.

I am using DSS 3.3.4, since 3.3.2 could not open my RAWs. I can give you the autosave to see if it is any better: https://www.dropbox.com/s/efngxlw2b67p0vb/Autosave004.tif?dl=0 How does it look? I could even provide you with the full data set (1GB though) if you suspect something else going wrong. A...

It seems that "Per Channel Color Calibration" was the default (and I had not even realized it is a setting, no radio buttons), however setting to "No" background calibration does not give me a different color balance, just a small shift in the histogram: https://www.dropbox.com/s/towjaxf5dlrmk0p/Sta...

Thanks for the reply. I learned a couple of useful things. And the running man came out nicely for you - I don't know at what point exactly I "lost" it. I don't think there was any color processing, but to be sure I re-ran DSS (and picked 7 instead of 12 1-min. exposures like before dropping the lea...

I am trying to see whether StarTools is a good match for me, looking for something quick and easy for processing on a Mac. I am very new to astrophotography (ok, some film photos in the 90's are not near the same experience) and I don't have clear skies (in any way, both UK climate and in a city), s...
