I'm looking forward to that 120 for sure!



Thanks Martin. The trouble I have with AutoDev is that it does this to my images, even with various tweaks. It turns everything (including the first go of this Lobster picture) into a hot noisy mess. I've sought help from the StarTools forum and no one seems to be able to tell me why, but FilmDev is something that actually works for me so I'll stick with it.
A couple of things -
Have you binned to default 50% ?
Have you cropped the edges of the image ?
Have you used Wipe to default 75 ?
If these things are done then you should be able to control the AutoDev stretch
Try just a small rectangle ROI in the centre of the image about 1/3 of the size of the object and tweak the ignore fine detail slider to say 4 pixels
Here’s a Startools work flow which other folk have used to varying degrees of success
Cheers
Martin
