HDR in Startools 8

[Rkonrad]

I love the enhancements and improvements in the new startools version. I'm struggling a bit with the hdr - reveal function. I'm trying to get it to work as "reveal core" in the earlier versions. Ivo (or others), what settings in the module should I adjust to get what I want.

Thanks Richard

Hi Richard,
from 1.7 manual: 'Reveal DSO core' uses the 'Reveal' algorithm and applies it to just the highlights. It is a very aggressive, but also effective, structural detail hunter.
Hence I would suggest to set context size small and experiment with mainly Highlights Detail Boost and probably Gamma Highlights (Tame) sliders as per taste
Pls let me know what works
cheers,
jochen

I will certainly try that. Thanks Jochen

I'm not having much success no matter how I adjust the settings. Ivo - would have a recommended setting under reveal that corresponds with reveal core? Thanks. Richard

Hi Richard,

The module should behave largely the same. Would you be able to share an image where you are having trouble?

Hi Ivo

I don't seem to be getting the effect I was looking for with the reveal module in my image. I should try it with a galaxy rather than the nebula (Rho ophiuchi). I'll take your word as creator that it's the same as reveal core. Thanks for your amazing work. Im really admiring 1.8.

I too use reveal core and here Ivo kindly explained how to mimic for me, works great.

Thanks so much - this seems to be the effect I was looking for. I do love the ability to adjust the sliders and customize the results.

Cheers Richard
