Re: StarTools 1.8.511 public alpha/preview 3 now out

If I'm working with an image with strong CA then I exclude the stars with strong CA from the colour module and leave then in luminance colour.

This needs documentation indeed.Mike in Rancho wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 8:24 pm Awesome. Thanks!
Is there much in the way of instruction yet on the PSF load? Or save?
I know the logs are coded, and there's an online converter to go through some steps and end up with a graphics file for masks. Of course the easy way to avoid that is -- just save your masks as a jpg from ST, dummy!
But I don't think I've seen a save PSF button. And in the log it's pretty small, like one line so far from what I've done (short enough to just copy and paste if the PSF load allowed that). It does say Base 64, though not png, but does that mean use that online converter to create a graphics file?
It did!

Thank you for reporting (and sharing the dataset @Mike in Rancho!)Wild pixels
I have seen this behavior on Linux when using the GPU version on an Intel iGPU. The Intel iGPU drivers are rather unusable If this is the case, then, frankly, I don't have any solution but to recommend the non-GPU version, try to add a well-supported discrete GPU, or to try different drivers if you can find any that will work with your distro. FWIW, I have personally had much better luck on Ubuntu 20.04-based distros, which seem to come with better Intel drivers.jackbak wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 5:04 pm I am having a devil of time with masks (see below) I have binned the image to 71%, it is an OpenSuse Tumbleweed Current as of today,
with an Intel i7 with core GPU and 16Gb of Ram.
I saw this behavior in 1.7 but this is just maddening, if I try to manually generate the mask I get the same thing or worse.
Thoughts?
