I started using Develop in Startools for the first few months as a novice but then took Ivo Jagers advice and tried “Auto Dev” for initial and final stretch.Its simply chalk and cheese , Auto Dev exposes so much more detail whilst keeping a lid on blowing out your image including stars. Auto Dev in version 1.5 is excellent and has an addition feature called shadow linearity
My general workflow is as follows -
Bin 50% default
Auto Dev initial stretch
Crop our stacking artifacts and dust donuts etc
Wipe
Auto Dev for final stretch and adjustment
Deconvolution
Sharpen
HDR
Life ( less more ) for background noise reduction
Colour
Stop tracking for noise reduction
Maybe Star filter
Save
NB: I find most default settings work well in Startools
Cheers
