Hey Jo. I am not an expert but this is how I reduce the stars if needed.
If you have PS, make sure the image in flattened, (only background layer), then copy background layer and rename the new layer whatever you want, (usually reduce stars). Make sure the new layer is highlighted in the layers palette, (so you are working on the new layer).
Select all the stars, (use the magic wand to select everything except the stars then invert selection),
Once the stars are selected go:
Select/modify/expand, (this expands the selection, usually 4 pixels works), then go:
Select/feather, (usually 2 pixels works, sometimes you have to feather more),
then go:
Filter/other/minimum, (this will shrink all the stars way too much but click ok anyway).
Then using the layers palette, reduce the opacity of that layer until it is right.
I have had varying success with this procedure but it's worth a shot.
Hope that helps.
