StarTools

Yesterday I tried at a certain moment to diminish the stars in IC 1805, so I selected an area with the lasso tool in the nebulae center area. for some strange reason 'isolate' did the opposite and removed stars outside that region. So I inverted the mask , isolate kept removing stars outside the mask . Whatever it tried I did not work, it always kept removing stars outside the mask .

So I went for a walk, came back and opened the file with v 1.6
In this version I did work..

What could be the issue here? Did I overlooked something?

I will investigate this further...

Thank you for reporting this. This should now hopefully be fixed in 1.7.434.

Please be aware of the caveats of selective processing like that though; usage of a mask may (will likely) result in non-documentary (selective processing) artifacts that are not representative of the signal as recorded.

Thanks Ivo

Seems indeed it solved the problem.

I like the module , it is really a step forward.

Overall i like the 1.7.X version...

I think ST is really something for me, still got to practice but i am progressing and something descent comes out...

Wipe module is not Always clear to me or i don't know quite sometimes what to do best. My IC1805 stack seems to be a tough one...
