I liked the blue in the first image though, but just goes to show that you can achieve different results each time. The background is a little mottled and that comes from the “life” module. I think it enhances too much in some instances.
But overall significant improvements can be seen for sure.

PS I could surely use a few tips myself with startools there are so many options I think it’s a matter of selecting the more appropriate ones for each image.
It's definitely not perfect....but much better I think.

That mottled effect came about when I was trying to reduce the number of stars showing in the image......it was a bit of a smudge effect which back fired a little. Before I did it however I had so many stars showing you couldn't see much else!

I find going through the various modules and selecting what looks best and then tweaking from there has helped me. Also greater use of masks has helped me to make some big changes in how I do things.
