Maskedstretch tool and star cores
« on: 2014 July 30 06:34:26 »
I seem to find that Masked Stretch although it produces fantastic star colors it blows up the cores of the stars and they loose the nice halo...so they appears a bit artificial.
Any idea on how to preserve the halo with Masked Stretch?

Alejandro,
I tried to script with 0.7 repair level and it did nothing. But when I changed it to 0.2 it started working and at 0.05 it did wonders. What does that thing do exactly? Do u have documentation anywhere?
