With Astro Pixel Processor I don't use Startools. 32 bit FITS of the stacks saved in APP then finally saved as 16 bit TIFF to take over to Photoshop for post production.
All stacking and assembly of an RGB image (RGB assembly for the mono cam) I do in APP, saving a combined RGB FITS as an RGB TIFF, and likewise Lum and narrowband FITS files saved as mono TIFF images to layer on the RGB image in photoshop. Everything else I do in PS.
