Fixing elongated stars, revisited
« on: 2011 October 27 03:15:44 »
Hi all!

Last year I read a thread on the forum about fixing elongated stars. On tip suggested using the motion blur setting of the deconvolution tool. I tried this and had pretty much homed in on a setting that worked like a charm in the preview. However, when I processed the main image, the same stars suddenly had ringing that didn't appear in the preview. Does anybody know why, and how I should get a proper representation of the process in the preview?

Best regards,
Ginge

I'm not familiar with the process you followed, but FWIF, some processes don't produce the same results when applied to a preview as when applied to the whole image, so you need to watch for that.

Hi,

Isn't there a possibilty to adjust iterations or the factor of the deconv?
