This is my flow

- save file as FIT on my desktop
- open that in StarTools 1.7, and from there:

1. Open dataset and choose Linear, from OSC/DSLR with Bayer matrix and not white balanced
2. Autodev > no changes > Keep
3. Crop any stacking artefacts
4. Wipe > no changes > keep
5. AutoDev again, choosing Redo global stretch > Keep
6. Decon > Auto-generate mask > Primary Radius change to around 2.4 > All > Keep
7. Sharp > Next > Auto-generate mask > Keep
8. Color > Fill Mask, choose Legacy preset. Change a little bit here and there. This is the step that gave me the dual-colour palette (red/blue)
9. Track/NR (this is what applies the signal tracking noise reduction) and do the default.
10. Save file, and then maybe have a play in Photoshop for the last bits and bobs.
Adam,
Thanks for sharing
My workflow has been similar for a long time but I also use Contrast and HDR as well ( I just called signal tracking , final noise reduction from the 3 earlier versions )
Attached is one of my workflows from a few weeks ago )
Thanks again
Martin
