It really is shocking to look now☺
Although overdone that dodge tool can be used to great effect...just dont overdoit like I did...
The new gimp is not bad but its taking a while to learn exactly how to use it.
The erode sometimes works well to bring down star size dramatically...but sometimes is leaves a mess...I have been enlarging my image aplying erode and I have got away at times with multiple applications of erode...anyways reduce the stars as much as possible and resize to smaller...I dont know if that is dumb but it seems to get them smaller sometimes...startools has a tool to reduce stars but it does not seem to reduce them all that much.
Each time I push the controls and play around particularly in that section.
And I have been masking the stars and hitting them with all the dials turned up in colour which sometimes makes the stars look interesting...I probably dont have star colour correct but at least I can get them glowing without altering the object...then invert the mask and try a few things not touching the stars.
