Stero Image Pair Action


ACTION REMOVED BY THE AUTHOR.
New version is under construction, might take a while though...


NEW VERSION, Download HERE

-Generates two, Parallel and the Cross Vision, versions
- Better star size handling
- Some minor improvements
-
Here is the first version of stereo image Action.
Primary usage is for Nebulae.
Please, let me know if it's working. This is originally made for PS CS3, but it might work with older version as well. - This Action generates a Parallel View version of Stereo Image. If you need the Cross Vision version, just flip the images in the opposite order, Left image to Right and Right image to Left.
-
NOTE
This action generates a temporary image in
the C: root named "Starless copy.psd"
You might want to delete it manually later.
NOTE2
This action has to be placed in the same folder with previous "StarRemove1"
action, to make it work right!

Star Removal PS action, klick the image to download



OBSOLITE PAGE, PLEASE, DOWNLOAD THE STAR REMOVAL PS ACTION FROM HERE: Star removal PS Action






Many astroimagers had asked me to reveal the method of removing Stars.
It's sometimes very usefull to be able to remove stars from the image.
Some dense Starfields can cover nebula details or the Star bloat can cause
problems with narrowband color mixing.
I have now made a PhotoShop Action for StarRemoval!
NOTE! The primary use is for Nebulae!
It might or might not work with Galaxy images
-
It has not been tested, so if there is problems or not, please leave a comment.
There might be some large stars, or fracments of them, in the image
after action. They are easy to remove manually.
The action result can vary, depending many factors, Star size, density, etc...
If you like, you cant tweak the parameter in the action for better result.
Or you can use just some part of the action. Be free to experiment.
-
In my tests I noticed, this works very well to undersampled images >
usuall wide fields one. And there the dence stars are really a problem.
To be sure, that no wanted information is lost, place the starless
image as a layer top of the original and blink.
Then use eraser to restore brighter details.
If you set the transparency, let's say 50%, you can have part of the both worlds.
-
In Cloudynights CCD-imaging group, there is some feedback of this action.
You can find help in there as well, if you have had some problems.
